The Newcomers — Artem Chapai

The Newcomers is a non-fiction book by Ukrainian writer Artem Chapai, written with his characteristic subtle humour and irony. The author explores the theme of migration, stereotypes, and cultural clashes through personal experience and observations.

The title refers to the ironic word "ponayikhaly" (roughly "the blow-ins"), familiar to residents of post-Soviet countries. Chapai transforms an everyday topic into engaging and witty prose that prompts reflection on tolerance and acceptance.
