Stefanyk’s articles and essay on the work of Ukrainian diaspora writers revealed that fate presented talent to these people, but it didn’t provide any opportunities for their creativity work in Ukraine. Y. Stefanyk subtly felt the features of each style inherent in each artist, paying attention to the aesthetic value of every author. He was well aware of the colors of the language, the particular style of the artists he wrote about. Y.
