About this item
"Your Presence Is Mandatory" is a gripping debut novel by Sasha Vasilyuk, weaving together the harrowing tale of World War II veteran Yefim Shulman and the profound impact of his lifelong secret on his family.

Set in Ukraine in 2007, the story unfolds after Yefim's death, when his widow Nina discovers a letter to the KGB in his briefcase, revealing a hidden past that forces them to confront the man they thought they knew. As they grapple with the revelation, the narrative delves into Yefim's experiences as a young artillerist during World War II, where he fought to defend his country and Jewish family against Hitler's forces.

Surviving the war comes at a cost for Yefim, as he is forced to make difficult choices and conceal his actions from both the KGB and his family. The novel spans seven decades, tracing the ripple effects of Yefim's cover-up on Nina, their children, and grandchildren, against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Through Vasilyuk's evocative storytelling, readers are drawn into the emotional journey of a family caught between two totalitarian regimes, navigating the complexities of loyalty, sacrifice, and survival. As they come to terms with Yefim's hidden past, they discover unexpected moments of grace and resilience in the face of adversity.

"Your Presence Is Mandatory" is a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of secrets, the bonds of family, and the indomitable human spirit in the midst of historical turmoil. With richly drawn characters and a compelling narrative, Vasilyuk shines a light on the untold stories of those who lived through the tumultuous events of the 20th century.
