The Kiev ravine of Babi Yar is one of the “capitals” of the Holocaust, the site of a record one-time murder of Jews, treacherously, under threat of death, gathered here supposedly for eviction. Almost 34 thousand people were executed in just one and a half days - September 29 and 30, 1941 - a tragic record, half a percent of the Holocaust!

Babi Yar is the archetype of the shooting Holocaust, a testing ground for the extermination of people and the exhumation of their corpses, the residence of death and unconsciousness, the epicenter of extreme negative sacredness - a kind of place of entry into Hell. This is also what makes Babi Yar a world landmark and a universal tragic shrine.

The genre of the book is a historical and analytical chronicle, written on the principles of critical historicism, on a solid factual foundation and in a free objective journalistic manner. Its composition is strictly defined: in the center is the history of the executions at Babi Yar, along the edges is their prehistory and posthistory, the latter broken down into Soviet and Ukrainian parts. The focus, replacing each other, invariably turned to traditional concepts of anti-Semitism of different eras and colors - Russian (imperial), German (national socialist), Soviet (internationalist, but with a characteristic local originality) and Ukrainian (young nationalist).

The book opens with an autobiographical introduction (“On the banks of Babi Yar”) and ends with the section “Babi Yar as a chronic disease.” The ending of the book was intended to be optimistic, because the “chronic patient” was clearly on the mend and the longed-for worthy memorialization of Babyn Yar was just around the corner. But after February 24, 2022, this task, like everything that is normal in peaceful civilian life, lost priority and was paused again. The planetary tragedy, which has not yet, in its ninth decade, achieved its worthy memorialization, is phenomenal and tragic in its own way. Willy-nilly, the book also cries out about today’s risks of humanitarian and cultural degradation.

Written on the instructions of Clio, it is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the Second World War, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Ukraine and Russia.
