Xavras Wyżryn
''Xavras Wyżryn'' is an alternate history novel by Polish science fiction writer Jacek Dukaj, published in 1997. It is considered as one of the best Polish alternate history novels, discussing Polish martyrology, circling around the philosophical aspects of war, showing the thin line between terrorism and fighting for freedom, and last but not least, "packing lots of action", making it also part of a military science fiction genre.
The story's divergence point is set during the Polish–Soviet War, which in this alternate reality ends with a decisive Soviet victory. The actual story takes place in the 1990s and is told from the point of view of an American reporter, who is an embedded journalist with anti-Soviet Polish resistance.
==Inspiration and background of the novel==
Dukaj wrote his novel inspired by the First and Second Chechen War (which started while he was writing). Xavras' guerrillas fighting against Soviet forces resemble Chechens battling with the Russian army. As in the Chechen conflict, it is hard to decide which side is the right one, as both commit crimes and horrible acts to reach their goals. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, a story about terrorists calling themselves "freedom fighters" gains much more meaning, and dialogues in the book concerning morals, ethics and freedom become deeper than ever.
