The figure of Ivan Dziuba has been attracting the attention of the Ukrainian public for several years now. At first, he proved himself as a thoughtful and profound critic who was able to extract worthwhile works from the rubbish of Ukrainian Soviet literature, which were few and far between, analysed them, found in them something valuable and worthy of respect, and pointed out their enduring value. Along the way, he slowly turned into a mouthpiece of honest and dignified Ukrainian thought, which was beginning to take shape in Ukraine at that time (1960s). Dziuba's recent activities have led to the fact that he is now universally boycotted by all honest Ukrainians on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
