Stepan Rudansky's works are striking in their variety of themes and genres. In the history of Ukrainian literature, the poet is known as the author of humoresques (sayings, as the poet himself called them), songs (lyrical poems, some of which became folk songs), ballads, fairy tales, historical poems and translations of Russian, Western Slavic and ancient poetry. Speaking about the significance of Rudansky's poetry, Ivan Franko emphasised that he was one of the most talented Ukrainian poets who emerged in the literary field after Shevchenko's death.

The poem "Lirnyk's Dumy", or "Fables of the World" is a collection of apocryphal legends, through the prism of which the author's philosophical reflections are reflected, as well as partly his attitude to religion. Stepan Rudansky draws information from the people, so his work is extremely interesting from the point of view of folklore and philosophy.
