Ukrainian writer Martyn Yakub maintains an amazing Instagram account worth following. Martyn was born in Zhytomyr, studied political science at the Kiev-Mohyla Academy. The writer works in the genre of criminal prose. He has only two novels in his portfolio, Dead Models and None of Your Damn Business, but he has received awards and recognition from literary critics.
The writer is also the author of subtle and sharp illustrations on the theme of the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine. A series of works “… because there was no APU nearby” is simply striking in its accuracy and irony, causing a smile.
Martyn portrays the characters of Russian literature and their troubles, which happened because there were no soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine nearby as modern superheroes. So, among the memes there are Pinocchio, Gerasim, Anna Karenina, Annushka, Raskolnikov and others.
Here is what the writer had to say about them:
… we need some kind of superhero who will save classical Russian literature from its misanthropic and animal-hating plots. And our superheroes are now the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so there is no need to invent anything.
