Conscience Calls - Poklyk Sumlinnia

by Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna

Author Information: Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna is a Chicago dentist and Ukrainian-American community activist, dedicated to helping Ukrainian orphan. Proceeds from the sale of her personal account of the Orange Revolution go to help Ukrainian orphanages.

Book Description: A personal account of the author's experiences as an international election observer during the Orange Revolution. She provides not only a fascinating account of what it was like to observe the elections in a difficult environment - the stronghold of Prime Minister Yanukovych - but also offers a glimpse into Ukrainian life in three distinct Ukrainian cities - Lviv, Kyiv, and Donetsk. Her observations of the election process, but also her experiences with and perceptions of people and places throughout Ukraine provide interesting insights to life in Ukraine - the country of her parents' birth -- during this historic time. (from the Brama Review)

Recommendation: This book was recommended to me by frequent Orange Ukraine reader and commenter IIU.
