Nice to meet you, my name is Viktor.
I’m Ukrainian, and I write about what I see and live in this country through the lens of my soul. I discovered my passion for writing during the war and began sharing my reflections about three years ago.
Since 2023, I’ve also been publishing here on Substack. It has been an extraordinary experience to connect with so many wonderful readers around the world. I never imagined my words would reach thousands of people across more than 160 countries, and I’m deeply grateful for that.
I’ve been publishing articles since March of 2022 and I’ve written about 180 so far. Enthusiasm for writing has also lead me to launch my first book, “The Divine Comedian: Ukraine’s Journey Through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise”, which you can download for free at my older blog.
