Editor's Note:
Książka, którą, drogi Czytelniku, trzymasz w rękach, składa się z opisu moich wizyt w pozornie niemających ze sobą wiele wspólnego zakątkach Bałkanów, Kaukazu, Europy Wschodniej, Ziemi Świętej, polskich pograniczy, a nawet Etiopii. Kluczem do zrozumienia tego, czego szukałem w rozmowach z poznanymi tam ludźmi, jest właśnie granica. Ten twór, który w pewnych miejscach istnieje wyłącznie w głowach ludzi, w innych przyjmuje postać granicy wojennej – tam każdy niewłaściwy ruch może się skończyć śmiercią. Moim celem nie jest jednak wyłącznie opisanie procesu jej przekraczania, lecz przede wszystkim obserwowanie ludzkich uczuć, które wiążą się z jej istnieniem. Moim bohaterom towarzyszy cały wachlarz emocji: strach, niepewność, nienawiść, bezsilność, poczucie przegranej albo będące na drugim biegunie pogodzenie się z faktami i celowe zapominanie o jej istnieniu.Granice, po których się poruszałem, nie zawsze były związane z kontrolą paszportową. Część z opisanych murów przestała istnieć fizycznie kilkadziesiąt lat temu, część kilkadziesiąt czy kilka lat temu dopiero się pojawiła. Powstanie niektórych wisi w powietrzu. Niektóre przyniosły rany świeże, inne są już zabliźnione – ale zawsze z tego obrazu wyłania się bezsilność jednostki wobec czegoś większego. Czasem jest to religijna, ekonomiczna albo etniczna dominacja jednych nad drugimi, najczęściej po prostu aparat państwa, który nigdy nie pyta o zdanie maluczkich, zanim zbuduje zasieki nad ich głowami.W tym tomie reportaży opisuję wyprawy z kilku ostatnich lat, ale są one dziś niezmiennie aktualne. W obliczu kryzysu migracyjnego stary kontynent przypomniał sobie o granicach w bolesny sposób – i w równie bolesny sposób odczuwają je ci, którzy próbują przybyć do „twierdzy Europa”. Jeszcze większym szokiem był wybuch pełnoskalowej wojny na Ukrainie. W rozdziale poświęconym Donbasowi zastałem konflikt zamrożony. Dziś linia frontu jest tam niebotycznie dłuższa. W najgorszy z możliwych sposobów przypomniała wielu z nas, że pokój nie jest dany raz na zawsze.Chciałbym dedykować tę książkę wszystkim podzielonym. Podzielonym swym własnym strachem przed Innym oraz podzielonym bezdusznością ludzi z długą bronią.MATEUSZ STYRCZULA
