The documentary novel "Bat-Ami" is a tragic and at the same time full of powerful life force story of a Kyiv Ukrainian-Jewish family during the Second World War. Ilya Goldinov, boxer, multiple champion of Ukraine in the pre-war years, in the summer of 1941 became the commander of a partisan unit in the Kyiv region. His wife, Feliksa Tereshchenko, was evacuated with her young daughter and returned to the capital of Ukraine in the fall of 1943 to find out the fate of her husband. Family history becomes part of the history of the Great War, a reflection of the relationship between Ukrainians and Jews during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. Among the characters who influenced the destinies of the novel's heroes are the Mayor of Poltava, Unionist Fedor Borkovsky, People's Commissar of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR Vasyl Sergienko, the head of the Kyiv Gestapo Hans Schumacher, and former partisan, MP Sydir Kovpak. "Bat-Ami" is the first novel written on the basis of the documents of the First (Intelligence) Department of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR, which were declassified after 2011.
