....my Master's degree began and I stopped reading War and Peace for a bit. It's been a hard year. Having my little chapter summaries to look over is really great, because it means I can now jump right back into reading it without having totally forgotten what was happening.
Chapter 1
It's 7 years later. The war is over, but, even in peace, human relations are tumultuous.

It's 2022. I know most of my views are from Russia.
Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля,
Ще нам, браття молодії, усміхнеться доля.
Згинуть наші воріженьки, як роса на сонці.
Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці.
Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу,
І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду.
Ukraine is not yet dead, nor its glory and freedom,
Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom
and we’ll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin.
