Painted people

Mila Ivantsova's novel Painted People is a sprawling artistic chronicle of the winter of 2013-2014 about ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances. About the Maidan and anti-Maidan, about those who did not care, who stood up against the criminal authorities for human dignity, about the security forces, looking from the other side of the barricades, about those who were not touched at all. About artists and doctors, entrepreneurs and students. About men and women, teenagers and the elderly, Ukrainians and not only. About love, strength of spirit, mutual support, self-sacrifice, humanity and love in the broadest sense of the word. And, of course, about Kyiv, turbulent and mundane, as in all other novels of the author.

Mila Ivantsova was awarded the title "Golden Writer of Ukraine" in 2012. "Golden Writer of Ukraine" is an award for Ukrainian novelists whose works have been published in paper book format with a total circulation of over 100,000 copies.
