Biography


Ruslan Gorovyi was born on 29 February 1976 in the town of Konotop of Sumy region. The oldest child, he has a brother and a sister. Konotop – the land of legends is a book he devoted to his hometown (publishing house “TaTySho”, 2018).

After graduating from High School Number 3, he entered Konotop Electrical Engineering College. After the collapse of the USSR, there were few local opportunities and his outlook was extremely bleak. So, dropping out of his third year of studies, Ruslan set off on a journey to Europe (partly described in the story Ninetieth Wave of Migration). He returned after five years of being abroad, studied, went in for TV journalism, wrote poems, songs and prose.

Now he lives in Kyiv. He has two children from his first wife. His second daughter, Daryna, was born on 12 September 2017 to his current wife.


Journalism and social activism


After returning from abroad Ruslan started working in journalism, for KST (Konotop) TV production company. Then Ruslan worked for the Eastern Project (Kramatorsk) newspaper, and the Alternative media group (Kyiv). Since 1998 he worked at Magnoliya-TV and became Executive Director of the ChP.INFO (ЧП.інфо) channel. In 2001 Ruslan Gorovyi began developing his project “Children’s Search Service”, with the goal of helping to find missing kids: making the videos and printed materials about them, informing the public, collecting and processing information (“Children’s Search Service” reception and telephone hotline), helping lost children to return home.

In 2006 he graduated with honours from the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts for cinema and television specializing in directing films and television.

Among the honours for his work, Ruslan Volodymyrovych has received the Order of St. Michael Archistrategos from Patriarch Filaret (Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate) and the honorary title of the Merited Journalist of Ukraine from the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko.

Literature


Ruslan Vladymyrovych's creativity is characterized by a sober, humanistic view of the events of modern history and modern times. Prose works are filled with warm everyday stories about ordinary or unique people, which can be easily found on the street, or when traveling by train; sources of creativity are often the memories of the elderly, urban legends, his own rich life experience. One of the sources of inspiration is his work: in numerous stories he reveals the problems of social injustice, economic (often criminal) processes of the formation of capitalism, the spiritual crisis associated with the collapse of the Soviet identity and the formation of Ukrainian self-consciousness. His works are characterized by acute social themes, enthusiastic knockdown plots, psychology. A number of works return readers to the Chornobyl tragedy, as one of the decisive events in the recent history of Ukraine.
