The author of the book, journalist and photo editor Evgeny Feldman, talks about his work as a photographer during events that, as became clear over time, were turning points in the history of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus: the protests on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, Euromaidan in Kyiv, the annexation of Crimea, the seizure of Donbass by separatists, and the protests against Lukashenko in Minsk.
The book's main characters are those same "dreamers" who believed in a better future and tried to fight for it. This fight was invariably accompanied by clashes with police "cosmonauts", and ultimately they all resisted one person - Putin. The most important part of the book is photographs, dramatic documentary evidence of the last fifteen years.
