Which of the real Ukrainian writers lives in the Tea Rose Cell? Of course, Kostya Moskalets. Tea Rose Cell is the name of the house he built himself in the village of Matiivka in the Chernihiv region. Doesn't everyone in Ukraine know at least one text by Kostya Moskalets: "Tomorrow he will come to the room / your friends are few / you will drink cold wine... Do you recognize it? Really, who at least once in their life has not sung the line "Only she, only she will sit sad" from the song "She" to the guitar? Kostya Moskalets is the author of the words and music to the song, which is already sung by more than one young generation.

Kostya Moskalets was born in 1963 in the family of a Ukrainian writer. In 1980 he graduated from school. After serving in the army, he worked in the legendary Lviv theater-studio "Do not be sad!", and graduated from the Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow.
