English edition
If you live away from you home country, you may choose to study the Language A:, the self-taught option, independently or with the help of your parents, without help of a professional tutor. This is entirely manageable, however, the author observed that such students often do not fully understand the program requirements, which then affects their exam results.
This student-friendly handbook brings together information and advice primarily for independent learners, but it will also be useful for those who do have a class teacher — and even for the tutors themselves, especially if they are just beginning to teach this course. Such tutors often contact the author for consultations, which can be replaced with this guide.
Thanks to the uniform requirements of the Language A Literature Guide it has become possible to create this universal version of the handbook in English. It differs from the IB Russian Language A handbook only by exclusion of practical exercises for Paper 1 as those must be provided in the language chosen for study.

Conclusion
What if humanity was freed from fear?
Long ago, an ancient race from the lost island of Lemuria evolved beyond fear, unlocking superhuman abilities and escaping Earth’s descent into madness. Now, the last of the homo liberatus dream of reclaiming their homeworld from a hidden menace: energy vampires — psychopaths who thrive on suffering and rule from the shadows.
In 1985, Yan, born of a fearless father and a human mother, returns to Earth on a mission that is both deeply personal and universally vital. His quest begins in the haunted ruins of the Belarusian Khatyn. Yan must confront the vampire who murdered his mother along with the whole Khatyn’s population in 1943. But the truth has been buried under decades of mind control, KGB secrets, and manipulated memories.
As Yan navigates Soviet archives, befriends a conflicted intelligence officer, and heals a dying hypnotist, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy stretching back to the Nazi occupation. His pursuit leads him to a war criminal in disguise and a fateful love with a gifted teenage girl destined to bear the next generation of homo liberatus.
In this sweeping epic of memory, justice, and evolution, Homo Liberatus explores what it means to be truly human… and whether redemption is possible for those who feed on the light of others.
The novel contains numerous quotes from documented interrogations of former Nazi collaborators served in Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 (Ukrainian Schuma) in 1942 - 1945 during trials conducted in 1945 - 1986. The quotes have been translated into English by the author.

Что если бы человечество освободилось
от рабства страха?
Homo liberatus – раса, развившая сверхспособности и победившая страх в результате эволюции. Яну, сыну простой белорусской крестьянки и одного из homo liberatus, суждено возглавить миссию по избавлению планеты Земля от энергетических вампиров.
Вампиры - психопаты, которые манипулируют человеческим страхом, развязывают войны и истощают ресурсы планеты. Они питаются человеческими страданиями. Власть на Земле всё чаще попадает в их руки.
Начало миссии Яна должна положить расплата с личным обидчиком – энергетическим вампиром, командовавшим 118-м украинским батальоном шуцманшафта при сожжении белорусской деревни Хатынь в 1943 году, где погибла и мать главного героя. В 1985 году Ян возвращается на Землю, чтобы начать поиск бывшего командира нацистских карателей, не зная ни имени ни лица убийцы и истязателя, который поселился среди мирных людей после войны.
