And also my story about one night, several hard days, and months of troubled 2014 . That first year of the hybrid war against Ukraine and the very night that became a turning point for Kharkiv and Ukraine’s fate . After several years, I tried to analyze the events of that period in Kharkiv’s life against the background of the country’s general situation, when Putin’s regime’s military aggression was beginning, when we still did not understand real might, cynicism, and preparedness of the enemy . As the Minister of Internal Affairs, I knew the situation in the country, in every city—and I will tell you about it . But what was happening in Kharkiv, I learned both from the reports of subordinates and friends and family calls . That’s why I invited Kharkiv citizens to co-author this book—the very men and women who saw those developments with their own eyes and in those difficult days lived through both the fate of their city and their personal destiny .

SEVILLA. AUTOR: DANIEL LINDO GARCÍA TUTOR: FERNANDO RAMÓN CONTRERAS MEDINA RESUMEN La cuestionada gestión de los servicios públicos de televisión, y la influencia de la Unión Europea de Radiodifusión y sus derivados en los cinco continentes, hacen del Festival de Eurovisión un escenario perfecto para la propagación de las consignas políticas que defienden los dispares gobiernos europeos que administran los primeros. La Revolución del Maidán y la anexión rusa de Crimea no solo provocaron una colisión entre Kiev y Moscú, también lograron acercar a una antigua república soviética como Ucrania a Bruselas. El longevo evento de música, reflejo del poder económico occidental, no ha sido sino la mayor plataforma mediática donde Rusia y su país vecino han librado una de sus muchas batallas.
