This book has held first place for a few weeks on Amazon.com in two categories, “History of Ukraine” and “History of Eastern Europe.” And in December it was named “book of the month” and now continues in the top-100 best books about Christmas. The book has also been published in the Estonian language, and American and German publishers have bought the rights to publish it.

The book is dedicated to the memory of Artem Dymyd and “other children of Rachel, killed by the newest Herod.” UCU graduate Denys Kolyada also gave a copy of the book to Pope Francis.
