This is an automatically translated description

Ostap Drozdov's novel No. 1 is more than just a novel confined to a genre. It is a confession of several generations united by the overarching idea of defending their identity. It is a family saga with dramatic twists and turns of fate. It is several biographies against the backdrop of different eras, in which the author's frankness borders on public exposure to the most intimate. It is a life-affirming and unconventional look at everyday life outside the window. This is crying and laughing. This is life itself. The way the author sees and feels it. He is a well-known Ukrainian journalist, political commentator, permanent author and host of the political programme Pryamym TEKTSTYM and the author's hard talk show Drozdov on ZIK TV channel. A pioneer of subjective journalism in Ukraine, one of the most successful and recognisable journalists in Western Ukraine. He has been in professional journalism since 1998. He started his career at the legendary newspaper "Postup" (information department, later - politics department). Since 2003, he has been the deputy editor-in-chief of the Western Ukrainian weekly Argument-Hazeta, co-author of the concept of the "yellow" edition. In a few months, the circulation of Argument-Gazeta grew from 4,000 copies to 30,000. In 2005, he headed the first analytical weekly in Lviv, Argument Vlada. In 2006, as editor-in-chief, he received the highest national award in journalism, the Golden Pen (nomination "Discovery of the Year"). In 2007, he founded the political television programme Pryamyi Tekst (Lviv Regional State Television and Radio Company). The programme became a phenomenon in the information space due to the author's non-standard style, which was based on a relaxed manner of conduct, sharp and unexpected questions, wide use of argonisms, dialectisms and colloquial vocabulary. With his programme, Ostap Drozdov launched the genre of improvisational, unscripted interviews.
