Career

At various points, Ulianenko's work was censored by the Ukrainian government for its explicit content. In 2009, for example, Ukraine's National Television and Broadcasting Council, on the recommendation of the National Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality, blocked the publication of his novel Жінка його мрії ("The Woman of His Dreams").[2]

Ulianenko's last work published during his lifetime was a criminal melodrama called Там, де Південь ("Where the South Is"), released in December 1999. In 2000, he wrote the screenplay for the film Украдене Щастя ("Stolen Happiness") with the director Andrii Donchyk, based on a play of the same name by Ivan Franko. The fourth part of the film was released in 2004.

The book Oles Ulianenko: Without Censorship was released on August 15, 2010, to mark Ulianenko's 48th birthday. It includes approximately 40 interviews with him conducted by multiple publications and television channels from 1994–2010. It also includes a detailed description and documents from Ulianenko's lawsuit against the National Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality, prepared by his lawyer, Oleh Veremiienko.

Ulianenko died on August 17, 2010, in his apartment in Kyiv under unclear circumstances.[1][3] He was buried in Kyiv Baikove Cemetery (Section 33).

In April 2013, a revised edition of The Woman of His Dreams was published.
