How War Changes Us

Short description

How War Changes Us is a powerful work of non-fiction that explores the emotional and psychological shifts experienced by people living through the war in Ukraine. 

Drawing on deeply human interviews with civilians, artists, volunteers, doctors and journalists, the book weaves together stories of trauma, resilience and transformation. With a blend of personal insight and journalistic precision, it shows how war reshapes identities, values and the fabric of everyday life. 

Praised for its emotional depth and authenticity, How War Changes Us serves both as an intimate witness account and as a bridge between war-torn realities and international readers seeking to understand what lies beyond the headlines. 

REVIEWS

“The author is not merely concerned with describing people’s pain. She also highlights that this war is about values, and that people have a choice - to defend democracy and freedom. Volynska hopes her book will encourage German-speaking readers to continue supporting Ukraine. I can truly recommend it and am certain it will help readers understand us better.”
