Get Up & Stand Strong: Lessons from Life in Uniform

By Valerii Ostroushko

What does it mean to stand tall when the world collapses around you?

From the Soviet barracks of the 1980s to the chaos of war-torn Ukraine and the quiet resilience of emigration, Get Up & Stand Strong is a memoir of discipline, survival, and transformation.

Written by a former soldier, entrepreneur, and immigrant, this book offers a rare glimpse into life behind the Iron Curtain - and what it takes to rebuild when everything familiar is lost.

Whether you're drawn to stories of military service, personal growth, or the human cost of geopolitical upheaval, this memoir speaks to anyone who has ever had to start over.

You'll discover:

What discipline means when it's not optional

How resilience is forged in silence, not speeches

Why standing strong isn't heroic - it's necessary
