How they loved and died. Selected works

Simple, lively prose, the expressiveness of which knocks you off your feet.

A bright representative of our then 20s, Lev Skrypnyk, spent his entire short life writing about Donbas and its people. Real, not always correct, always traumatized.

He wrote about himself — a child who too early learned about work in a mine, and the poverty of a homeless person, and war, and captivity, and prison. He wrote about what he felt, saw, and experienced. His hero is always autobiographical, the events are true, and the twists and turns of history are tragic and unpredictable.

“How They Loved and Died” is a literary snapshot of the era, the Donbass of the beginning of the last century with all its difficult realities and turmoil.
