They Have Come Here

According to the UN data for 2020, the number of international migrants is 281 million people. This is almost two Russias or ten Australias. In 2022, this statistic changed significantly, and now there are many more people who voluntarily and involuntarily live away from where they were born.
It has always been like this: the history of humanity is an endless chain of migrations, but within the historical process are real people. The heroes of this collection, from Cro-Magnon R-ray to the little Chinese Yungsu, are the "newcomers" and those to whom "the newcomers" came — just children who want to be accepted into the game, understood, and protected. They, like all of us, are hostages of their own era. But if you think about it, it is precisely because of this that the whole world eats sushi and listens to jazz. You, I, all of us — "they have come here!".
