Oleksandr Frazé-Frazénko is a renowned filmmaker, writer, musician, and activist, celebrated for his exceptional talent across various artistic realms. Over the years, his feature documentaries and fictional short films have garnered numerous international awards and nominations, leaving a significant mark on the cultural landscape. With a prolific music career, he has amassed millions of streams. His poetry collection "Decadence" (2017) has become a bestseller in Ukraine.

During the initial year of Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, he remained in the country, actively engaging in the volunteer movement and working as a producer for BBC and other world media. But, under the pressure of mainstream political discourse and persistent threats, unwilling to compromise his right to free speech, he felt compelled to leave the country. Today, he tirelessly advocates for the future of the endangered Ukrainian culture on a global scale.

His latest book, "FAQ Ukraine," delves into the sophisticated and often controversial love-hate relationship between the poet and his motherland, guiding readers through the labyrinth of history while shedding light on the nation's uncertain future.
