Yuriy Kosach (1908-1990) was a Ukrainian poet, novelist, playwright, publicist, editor and artist. He was the nephew of Lesya Ukrainka and the grandson of Elena Pchilka. He lived in the United States for half of his life. The writer's works were published in Lviv, Stanislav, Krakow, Paris, New Ulm, Munich, Augsburg, Regensburg, New York and Kiev. In terms of the ambiguity and mystery of the biography and the inconsistency of the creative and scientific heritage of Yuri Kosach, you can put him on a par with such famous contemporaries (and good acquaintances) as Viktor Petrov (Domontovich) and Igor Kostetsky.

The next edition of the works of Y. M. Kosach contains the novel " Chertovskaya Skala "and the story" looking into the eyes of death", in which the author refers to events that are sometimes autobiographical in nature and are related to the activities of the Ukrainian underground resistance to the Polish policy of pacification and denazification of western Ukrainian lands in the period between the two world wars, which is not sufficiently covered in Ukrainian historiography.

Yuri Kosach's works "Dunkirk", "Rubicon of Khmelnitsky", "day of Wrath", "Lady of Pontida", "constellation of the Swan", "Sun in Chigirin" and " Magic Ukraine. Pre-war prose".
