Ukraine War Diaries: Portraits of Putin:The Narratives from the Circle of Forced Trust (The Unsanctioned Series)

by QWERTskY

Overview

• The most illuminating perspectives upon the Russo-Ukrainian War (a.k.a. the Russia-Ukraine War) and upon Russia's century-old regime may not come from the news or from conventional historical or biographical books. QWERTskY, also known as 'an anonymous author for Freedom,' spent over fifteen weeks in Ukraine's war zones between March and July of 2022 and has found a way to represent the first six months of this brutal conflict — in light of Russia's misdirected 'culture of Vladimir Putin's genesis' — in an unusual mixed genre collection of ten interconnected, mind-bending narratives.
• Did you know what Putin and China's Xi Jinping privately discussed three weeks into the war?... or why Russia killed twenty-three civilians on July 14, 2022 in Ukraine's Vinnytsia?... or how the notorious Grigori Rasputin is related to Putin?... or how propaganda has been used in this conflict to drive and measure public sentiment?... or what Sergei Lavrov (Russia's Foreign Minister) told Putin in Suite V of a secret Siberian bunker?... or why Russia really annexed Ukraine's Crimea?... or when Putin emotionally committed to this war?... or what Putin's cronies toast to when they drink Ukrainian vodka? Myriads of facts and revealing inferences will surface in Ukraine War Diaries: Portraits of Putin — a book that presents the most informative and engaging geopolitical and cultural aspects of this widely misunderstood war within a literary framework of well-sourced, previously unknown facts about Vladimir Putin's secretive life and the pertinent history of Russia and Ukraine, as well as their complex relations with the West.
• The Author... QWERTskY is the pen name of an apolitical, anonymous writer whose permanent location and legal name are unknown. As a humanitarian worker tasked with high-risk conflict and war remediation, QWERTskY spent over fifteen weeks in Ukraine's war zones between March and July of 2022. In combination with the author's prior travels to both Russia and Ukraine between 2014 and 2021, this led to QWERTskY's blueprint of a three-book series — starting with this Book One — that shares an eye-opening depiction of Europe's largest power clash since World War II.
• This volume begins with a remarkable, one-page open letter "To Comrade Putin, et al." — a piece worth reading for history geeks and fiction bookworms alike. The book portrays the fable of Putin's life, the history of Russia's shocking ideology, and a useful account of modern Ukraine — all supported by the twenty documentary appendices and by over one hundred detailed historical and analytical footnotes — to help shape the landscape of relevant (and factual) locations, names, times, and cultural references. The unexpected implications of this rare tome will point to the true causes and define the potential outcomes of this ghastly conflict. The Dedication page (To Students of Peace) sets the book's tone: "At times, an oppressive ruler is not a paradox but a rational culmination of his culture's inherent philosophy. When this happens, a longstanding dictator and his people inadvertently become deeply symbiotic. Knowing that tyrant's capacities and aspirations is knowing the society of his genesis."
• The Circle of Forced Trust is at the root of Russia's (not Putin's) motives behind this war. It refers to 'the circle of collective responsibility' — a set of informal-but-strict group management practices used in organizational processes of Russia's criminal and political groups. These practices are intended to reduce errors, advocate hostility, encourage silence, and promote loyalty and unity by tying responsibility for all group actions to each group member regardless of his/her factual inputs — a fundamental governing principle of all dictatorial leaders in Russia since 1922, including Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Putin.

Editorial Reviews

You will never understand the causes and the powers behind the Russia-Ukraine War until you read this outstanding book; nor will know who Putin is — or who Russian people really are — until you commit half a day and just gulp it up, which you will enjoy. I have read many books by anonymous authors. Most tend to be too vulgar, too dry, or too emotionally disconnected. This one has character and skillfully blends reality and fiction into an engaging mixed genre narrative. Bravo!

I have not seen a mixed genre book in a long time that would be as wise and as timely as Ukraine War Diaries: Portraits of Putin. It is so difficult to blend fiction and facts without maintaining a firm grip on reality. QWERTskY does that brilliantly. The book begins with an open letter to "Putin, et al." - a sheer masterpiece that will make you want to read the rest. You will!

Just read the Dedication and The Letter to Putin, et al. at the beginning to comprehend why you want and need to read Portraits of Putin. The book is not simply about Putin and not just about the nation of "hallucinating perpetrators" (quoted from QWERTskY) behind this war. It goes well beyond the conventional thinking about wars about geopolitics. Moreover, this volume defines a stance - with humor and wit - that every civilized human needs to assume going forward.

You will see the facets (and the faces) of Putin and - in QWERTskY's words - the 'culture of his genesis' that are hard to find elsewhere. This book is not just about the war in Ukraine — it is about the future state of this planet. Every young adult must read it side by side with their history textbook, and every mature adult must read it before spending another minute on watching news on TV about Ukraine.

QWERTskY.com - Rob Janneau

Although you may find this book in an unexpected section (e.g., fiction, non-fiction), don't jump to conclusions. This mixed-genre volume has a ton of literary chic but also provides more facts about the war in Ukraine than all other books you may have read... whether about Putin or about Russia and Ukraine. It is an illuminating, remarkably original book for all who wish to comprehend the complex mindset of Russian people and the root causes of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
