This is an automatically translated description
In his new novel, the Ukrainian writer from Volyn once again uses a literary technique already known from his previous books - the "resurrection" of forgotten and little-known names belonging to national history, culture, and religious movements.
This time, the subject of his artistic research was Pavlo Pashchevskyi, a priest and chaplain of the First Ukrainian Reserve Regiment (later the Serdiutskyi Regiment named after Petro Doroshenko). In addition, Father Pavlo's life and professional activities include work in the Department of Religions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian People's Republic, participation in the creation of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood, the First Winter Campaign, and preparation for the All-Ukrainian Church Council.
Internment, camps, church, pedagogical, and social activities under Polish occupation, and since 1939 - first under Soviet occupation, then under German occupation - these are pages of the life of a unique generation of Ukrainian intellectuals (Pavlo Paschevsky belonged to them), to whom writers, journalists, and historians still owe a great debt.
