'It is easy to love Ukraine to the depths of your soul; try loving it to the depths of your pocket.' These words of Yevhen Chykalenko became some of the most quoted during the Russian-Ukrainian war, both urging self-sacrifice and showing modern Ukrainians' respect for this remarkable figure. The novel asks who this benefactor was, whose work still earns his countrymen's gratitude a century later, and tries both to draw readers into his many-sided world and, above all, to show Chykalenko as a person.
