Yesterday

In his novel "Yesterday" Alexander Krasovytsky (born 1967) examines historical events through the prism of cognitive science. The author offers an alternative history for understanding real events. If in 2014 after the Maidan the processes had developed a little differently, would President Yanukovych not have fled to Rostov, would the subsequent decisions of the Russian leadership to annex Crimea and start military operations in Donbas have taken place? Would a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war have begun on February 24, 2022?

The heroes of the book try to find the roots of everything that is happening today in the historical past.

A scholar-historian predicts the approach of an inevitable catastrophe that will engulf the entire world. He knows the time and the participants in the events and wants to warn the world about the danger. But will the West believe his prediction? Can the historical experience of the past keep us from making mistakes in the future?
