This is not an alternative history, but precisely the true one which they wanted to hide from you. This book presents documentary evidence gathered by Den. It reveals how and why high-profile crimes become possible, including murder of journalist Georgy Gongadze, abduction and beating of civic activist Oleksii Podolsky, and attempted assassination of member of the Verkhovna Rada of the 2nd and 3rd convocations Oleksandr Yeliashkevych. This is the essence of the modern history of Ukraine as exemplified by human tragedies, lost chances and deformed country, which eventually led to war. Why did it become possible and when did it start? And most importantly, when will the country get rid of the dangerous “virus”? The answers to these questions can be found in an unprecedented and sensational book “The Trap,” or A Case without a Statute of Limitations.
