This is an automatically translated description

Hryhorii Kosynka can be called one of the most original artists of lyrical and impressionistic prose of the early twentieth century. His work organically intertwined impressionistic, realistic, and expressionistic stylistic trends. Hryhoriy Kosynka's talent developed most vividly in the short story genre. In his early short story "Moonlight Laughter" he adhered to the canons of impressionism that were established in world literature, and later introduced new features into his style. Kosynka's novels are based on autobiography. The terrible, bloody events of the Civil War are described in the novel "Moonlight Laughter". During the Civil War, in times of devastation and numerous changes of power, when peasants simply could not understand who to believe, and therefore did not believe anyone, the phenomenon of atamanship - spontaneous armed groups led by local leaders - became widespread.
