Anna Babina is a young writer, a finalist of the Lyceum Prize (2022), and the winner of the Tavrida art cluster publishing program (2021). Her bibliography is not large yet, but it is obvious that she is a talented author with her own view of the world. The novel Presumption of Guilt is the best proof of this. Is it possible to live with the burden of guilt? Constantly suffer from the fact that a loved one died because of you? Grandmother Lida lived like that. During the Patriotic War, her sister Zoya was involved with the partisans and shot by the Nazis. Lida was sure that she was to blame. Out of stubbornness, she did not listen to her sister, did it her own way, and thereby unwittingly betrayed Zoya. Grandmother Lida lived her whole life with this stone around her neck. It did not let her live, but she could not throw it off. Over time, she learned to measure everything by Zoya's standards and look at everything through Zoya's eyes, as if she were living not her own life, but Zoya's. Lydia's granddaughters, although they did not know the whole truth, also seemed to be paying for this guilt - the lives of all three were somehow senseless. If the grandmother had known that she had the right to remove this weight from her soul, would her life and the lives of her granddaughters have turned out differently? And is it possible to talk about this in the subjunctive mood?
