The twenty days spent with Vasyl Stus in the cell of the Kyiv KGB in 1972 enabled the professional psychiatrist Semen Hluzman to make an independent "diagnosis" of him: "Vasyl Stus was a man without skin who was acutely aware of falsity, lies, and other people's pain. With this metaphor, so eloquent and apt, Semen Hluzman captures one of the key relative constants of Stus's originality: the vulnerability of a person who feels keenly.
This essay is an attempt to understand the spectrum of the spiritual life of the expansive figure of Vasyl Stus, his stable inner constitution with inclinations, potentials, and self-expression, and thus to read the forms of the writer's relationship with the world.
