Ukrainian historical fiction book Stories of Life and Fight: Volume II expands the scope of the series, tracing Ukrainian history from 1872 to 2022 through five historical short stories written in English.

Rather than focusing on battles alone, the book examines survival under foreign occupation — how individuals navigate fear, compromise, resistance, and endurance across generations.

Historical Fiction About Resistance and Survival

These stories explore life under occupation, where every choice carries consequences. Some characters resist openly, others adapt quietly, and some collaborate in order to survive. The book does not offer easy answers — only human experiences shaped by harsh realities.

Five Stories Across 150 Years of History

Spanning more than a century, the collection reveals recurring patterns of oppression and resilience. Each story stands alone, yet together they form a portrait of a nation that refuses to disappear.
