Journalist Alexander Chalenko, who left Kyiv for Moscow after the victory of the putschists in 2014, reported this on his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“This event will take place on the eve of the second festival of literary fiction “Stars over Donbass”, which will be held in the capital of the DPR - Donetsk from September 12 to 17, 2020.
If the first festival, held in September 2019, was attended by 24 people, this time there will be almost 4 times more guests - 92 participants are expected.
"Live, Donbass!" – a collection of fantastic stories about the incredible present and peaceful future of Donbass.
No one, even the most unbridled fantasy, can foresee much of what has become a reality for Donbass. The monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, broken by the artillery of the new war, was the previous war, after which, it seemed, the next one would never begin.
The announcement “No entry with weapons” is on the doors of the Art Museum and the operating Children's Railway is 30 minutes from the demarcation line.
The real fantasy is the everyday life of Donbass, when a stubborn farmer from Stratonavtov Street restores a fence destroyed by artillery for the fourth time, a cosplay festival is held in the front-line city, tickets to the Opera are sold out two months in advance.
A symbol of the resilience of surrounded Leningrad are the famous trams, which were launched again in the seventh month of the siege, and here they became a powerful psychological support for the townspeople,” wrote Chalenko.
He also emphasized that during the presentation, participants will remember with a kind word the science fiction writer Mikhail Kharitonov (the pseudonym of the Russian nationalist politician Konstantin Krylov), who died in the spring of this year. His story "Understanding the Zerg" is published in this book.
