Roman Ivanychuk (1929-2016) was a famous Ukrainian writer, winner of many literary awards, including the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine. His oeuvre includes about twenty historical novels, with which the writer filled in the gaps in our history. R. Ivanychuk expanded the genre boundaries of the historical work, opening up the past to the reader, which activated the national memory. The publication includes Roman Ivanychuk's entries from the third and fourth books of The Non-Day Diary, which cover the events of 2005-2006 (the writer's observations after the Orange Revolution, in which he skilfully depicts the struggle for power and intrigues among Ukrainian politicians). And the diary notes of Journey to Aberfoyle are devoted to the later events of 2012-2013 - before and during the Revolution of Dignity, in which he was a direct participant.
