This book is the author's complete version of the famous documentary novel "Babi Yar" about the extermination of the Jewish population of Kiev in the autumn of 1941. Anatoly Kuznetsov, then a teenager, himself witnessed the executions of Kyiv Jews, communicated a lot with people who survived the catastrophe, collected the memories of other contemporaries and eyewitnesses. His novel was first published in the magazine "Youth" in 1966, and even then, despite numerous and crude censorship cuts, it had the effect of an exploding bomb - no one dared to write about the Holocaust like that before Kuznetsov. However, the path of the true history of Babi Yar to the reader turned out to be long and difficult. In 1969, Anatoly Kuznetsov secretly took the complete version of the novel to England, where he asked for political asylum. A year later, "Babi Yar" was published in the West in the author's edition, but the Russian reader was able to get acquainted with the text without cuts only after perestroika.
