description: The Freedom Fighter is an author’s account of the Donbass Uprising in 2014. Vitaly Fedorov was the managing partner of a small casino in West Africa, when people of Donbass rebelled against the authority of an oppressive Ukrainian government, which was trying to take away their land for large gas shale companies and to prohibit them to teach their children their native language. Being a man of the right-libertarian views, Vitaly has left behind his well-organized life, went to Ukraine, joined the people’s militia and fought against government troops, participating in the defense of "Russian Alamo" - Slavyansk.  In this book you will not find knights in shining armor, but just good people who rebelled against the dictatorship for the right to live on their land as they wish. There are a lot of good stories about a successful uprising of men against an oppressive government. This one is no different from them, except this one is real.
