“The presentation of the new book about the event in the South-East of Ukraine will be held in two stages, – Prokhanov said. – At first it will take place in the Republican Union of Writers, and then — the main stage of the presentation will take place at glorious Saur Mound, the defenders of which repeated the heroic deed of their fathers, carried out in the years of the Great Patriotic War”.

Russian essayist, leader of Great Fatherland party Nikolay Starikov also met with the residents of Donetsk. The meeting took place a day before in the hall of the Krupskaya Republican Universal Scientific Library, full of listeners.

“I arrived in Donetsk in composition of Izborsk Club delegation, — Starikov said. – I intend to meet citizens of the Republic and visit the block-posts of the People’s Militia”.

“We in Russia do not perceive the events in Donbass as something distant, — Starikov stressed. — We are fully aware of the fact that the dwellers of his land found themselves on the crest of the history wave, and they are defending not only their motherland, but also the entire Russian world”.
