Ivan Bahrianyi

See also Іван Багряний

Poet, writer, and publicist Ivan Bahrianyi was lucky – twice he managed to leave the Soviet camps alive. Later, he was able to leave the USSR. In his homeland, his name was erased from memory for a long time. Only with the restoration of Ukraine’s independence Ivan Bahrianyi was able to return symbolically — he was rehabilitated in 1991, and his creative legacy finally began to be published and studied.

Ivan Lozoviahin — Bahrianyi’s real surname — was born in Okhtyrka, the Slobozhanshchyna region.

“I was still a little 10-year-old boy when the Bolsheviks invaded my consciousness with a bloody nightmare, acting as the executioners of my people, and it was 1920. He lived then with his grandfather in the village, at the api

Lyubko Deresh

Любко Дереш (* 10 серпня 1984, Пустомити, Україна) — сучасний український письменник. Повне ім'я — Любомир Андрійович Дереш.

Народився у місті Пустомити Львівської області, закінчив Львівський фізико-математичний ліцей та економічний факультет Львівського університету.

В 15 років Любко Дереш написав свій перший роман — «Культ», а виданий він був, коли автору виповнилося вісімнадцять. Книга молодого письменника відразу ж викликала неабияку хвилю пристрасних дебатів у молодіжних кав’ярнях і модних редакціях. Роман був перекладений на кілька іноземних мов.

Згодом вийшли романи Дереша, які стали національними бестселерами («Поклоніння ящірці», «Архе», «Намір!», «Трохи пітьми», «Голова Якова»).
