Bibka Ludomyr's memories of rum, Kucher's memories of old rum"

Memories about the life of Roma from the first Roma writer of Transcarpathia. To Bibka:

Once my grandson Samir took me to the city. - Samir, pose, girls in

they are walking around in panties, - I drew the grandson's attention, - and there are people all around.

- No, grandfather, - explained Samir, - these are shorts.

- Shorts are shorts, - I agreed.

This world is not mine. Everything is different here, the past is inside out.

I think it's time for me to go to my wife, to my beautiful

Bibky.

To the Coach:

Eighty-year-old Kucher was standing on the street in front of the yard.

Looked at his great-great-grandchildren and was happy that they did not know how

this, when loved ones are shot in front of your eyes.

The six-year-old coachman saw horrors in the counter-camp.

Author M. Burmek-Dury about himself:
"Gypsies are a special nation. The peculiarity is in people, in their views. Only Gypsies could call themselves a new name - Roma. "Roma equally respects both the poor and the rich," says a Roma saying. Not for nothing, because we do not distinguish people by fortunes, we do not have a small, medium or high level of wealth.
Roma literature should also be special. As a representative of the Roma, I was proud to develop the vakerka genre (from the Romany language - conversation, vakiren - to speak). In my works, I talk about the uniqueness of the Roma from other nationalities."

This book was created and published as part of the charitable project "Kentavrida". In 2022, our charitable foundation "It's Craft" initiated a project where writers write works based on the history or legends of Ukraine, and after competitive selection, some works are published in the "Centaurida" collection, and others you can read in electronic form. The printed and electronic collection of winning works can also be purchased in the Books section.

The project is designed to dispel the remnants of inferiority and disrespect for Ukrainian culture and our historical figures, and most importantly - to form such a good level of knowledge about Ukrainian heroes and values that there will never be wars and strife on our land again.
