Life and career

[edit]

Ihor Pavlyuk was born in the Volyn region on January 1, 1967. His mother died ten days after giving birth to him. He was raised by his grandfather and grandmother on his mother's side, both of whom were migrant peasants (Operation Vistula) from the Helm region (now Poland). Ihor Pavlyuk's family on his father's side, also from Volyn, was repressed for participating in the national liberation struggle, sent to a special settlement at Kiselyovsk in 1947 and rehabilitated in 1991.[8][9]

He studied at the Saint Petersburg military engineering-technical university, which he left to pursue his career as a writer. As a result he was sentenced to a period of hard labour in the Taiga (Zabaykal'skiy region) but continued to write as best he could, driven by a nostalgia for his Ukrainian homeland, until he was freed when the Soviet Union fell. In 1992 Ihor Pavlyuk graduated from the Department of Journalism at Lviv University (he included in the list of the "100 Notable alumni of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv")[10] and worked as a correspondent for religious press and radio in Lviv.
