Mass during the war: Boris Kherson

The liturgical cycle of Boris Kherson “Mass during the war” is a certificate whose letter contains a moment of disaster unfolding before our eyes. The time of the war is the time of the destruction of man, his body and reason, his dignity and faith, his freedom and culture. The means of this destruction are not only the “vehicles of war”, which bears fear and grief, but also the corruption of power, and the right of strong, and the infection of violence, and the blindness of the crowd, and the chain reaction of hatred, and the circular guarantee of lies, and paralysis of despair. Man is just a “target for an arrow.” The only thing he can is to die, despising that he can destroy him. Because while a person despises all this, he is alive.
Boris Grigoryevich Kherson (b. 1950) – poet, essayist, head of the department of clinical psychology of Odessa National University.
