Based on my stories, the verbatim play "Kherson Stories of Salvation" was staged - the premiere of which took place on June 18, 2023 in the city of Kyiv.

This book was created and published as part of the charitable project "Kentavrida". In 2022, our charitable foundation "It's Craft" initiated a project where writers write works based on the history or legends of Ukraine, and after competitive selection, some works are published in the "Centaurida" collection, and others you can read in electronic form. The printed and electronic collection of winning works can also be purchased in the Books section.

The project is designed to dispel the remnants of inferiority and disrespect for Ukrainian culture and our historical figures, and most importantly - to form such a good level of knowledge about Ukrainian heroes and values that there will never be wars and strife on our land again.
