The presentation of the book “The Conflict in Ukraine through the eyes of an Italian journalist” by Eliseo Bertolazi took place on Friday, took place on October 24, 2025 TASS reports. According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, the publication tells about the victims of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, as well as about the heroes who fought against it.

An anthropologist, journalist, and public figure who took part in the “XVII Assembly of the Russian World”, tried to present an objective view of the events taking place in Ukraine. Bertolazi has visited Donbass dozens of times over the past ten years. The journalist found himself under fire in hot spots, met with the military in the muddy trenches on the line of contact and with civilians living under fire in liberated cities. He also talked with the leadership of the Donetsk People’s Republic. The tragedy of Donbass was unfolding before his eyes and his book tells the tale.

This journalist is also one of the authors of the documentary “People without Peace” about the crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the local civilian population. It should be noted that these locals are supposedly the fellow citizens that Kiev’s forces are trying to save. He is also feared by supporters of the Kiev regime, which have added the name of Eliseo Bertolazi to the Peacemaker database. This database is an official state sponsored enemy-list with tens of thousands of names, some of whom have already been killed for their lack of support for Zelensky’s Kiev.

He has repeatedly spoken publically in both Russia and Italy, given interviews, and shared his observations and assessments of Kiev’s ruthless destruction of its own people.

In addition, on the pages of his book, he warns of the danger of falsifying the history of the Second World War, tirelessly fights Russophobia, and carefully examines the phenomenon of the “Ukrainization” of the European political agenda and Europe itself.
