Platon Besedin is a writer, publicist, TV presenter, born and lives in Sevastopol. Author of fiction and journalistic books nominated and finalized for the Russian Booker, Yasnaya Polyana, Golden Delvig, National Bestseller, etc. awards. He publishes prose in iconic “thick” literary magazines (Neva, Druzhba peoples", "Our Contemporary", "Youth" and zhr.). Columnist of leading media (Izvestia, Snob, Moskovsky Komsomolets, etc.). Author and presenter of the analytical television program “Assembly Point” on the Crimea24 channel.
“Children of December” is the author’s new book, published in September 2017 and becoming a bestseller in Russia. In his new novel, Platon Besedin explores conflicts and wars on different levels. In the foreground are events in Russia and Ukraine: Euromaidan, the Crimean Spring, battles in Donbass, closely intertwined with the entire Russian history. However, this is only a visible layer. What's more important is what's behind it. What's inside. Something they will never tell you about on television.
"Children of December" is the first humanistic book about war, showing that human relations are higher than politics. The famous prose writer, winner of the “Big Book” and “National Bestseller” awards, Leonid Yuzefovich, spoke about the new edition: “For Platon Besedin, first of all, the tragedy of ordinary people, whose voices are drowned out by the boiling of national and political passions, is important. This honest book, devoid of false pathos, stirs the soul with that feeling that only real literature can awaken - the feeling of one’s own guilt for something for which one seems not to blame.”
