The story "Ostap Shaptala" is set in Katerynoslav in the early 1920s. V. Pidmohylnyi was interested in the problem of the city and the village from the very beginning of his work. It is quite clearly outlined in the story "Ostap Shaptala", where the peasant hero, having received education in the city, having a position here, still feels uncomfortable: he is oppressed by the atmosphere of indifference to an individual, his own loss in this world, moral suffering for his separation from his parental roots.
