In his novels, essays, poems and lyrics, Zhadan has especially reflected on Russia’s initial invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014, depicting how ongoing war has destroyed people’s lives in the region.

He employs both “a poetic and radical tone” to also reflect on “how the people of Ukraine defy the violence around them, striving instead to lead independent lives rooted in peace and freedom,” the jury added.
