Femen - by Olivier Goujon (Paperback)

About the Book

This unique and unpublished testimony is the true story of Femen and its two founders, Sacha Shevchenko and Oxana Shachko. The author traces the international saga of a peculiar form of feminism born in the plains of Western Ukraine.

Book Synopsis

In 2007, they arrived in Kiev to change the face of the world. Ten years later, Sacha Shevchenko and Oxana Shachko, the true founders of Femen, were brutally expelled and had their movement taken away from them.

Based on their painful confessions, the author traces the international saga of an idea born in the plains of Western Ukraine and which got lost in internal quarrels and personal ambitions.

Femen is the story of blondes to die for, Russian spies in Montmartre, beatings, corrupt politicians, real and fake escapes, fascists, Islamists and embezzled money.
