Lina Kostenko is known as one of the representatives of the "sixties" - a generation of artists who defended freedom of creativity and opposed Soviet censorship.

Her novel in verse “Marusya Churay” became a real pearl of Ukrainian literature.

During the Soviet Union, Lina Kostenko’s work was often subjected to strict censorship. In particular, in the 1960s, her works were not published for about 16 years due to her principled position and refusal to compromise with the authorities.
