This is an automatically translated description

The most significant work of the Ukrainian writer and poet Yuriy Yanovsky (1902-1954) of the postwar period is the novel Living Water, in which the writer embodied the idea of the immortality of a nation reborn after a war catastrophe. This is a work about a Ukrainian village that survived the horrors of the Nazi invasion, about the first postwar year, about the reconstruction of the national economy destroyed by the German fascists, and about the labour heroism of women. The events of the film are also set in Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Donbas, and the Nuremberg Trials. Harshly criticised for his nationalism, the writer was forced to revise the novel in accordance with the principles of socialist realism and republish it in a weaker version under the title Peace, which did not benefit the work at all.

The cycle Kyiv Stories, which was awarded a state prize, was created by the classic near the end of his life. In it, he, in particular, sang the heroism of people during the Second World War.
