Sergey Zhadan is one of the most popular Ukrainian writers. This man is known for his poetism, Ukrainianism, futurism and anarchism - a mixture of thunderous, and he is a very pleasant person. Despite the fact that Sergei’s works are full of antisocial attacks and profanity, many consider them a “modern classic” of world literature, and would like to see them in the lists of the school curriculum. This man can be said that he is a poet of the destruction of epochs, and already two scraps: the USSR and democratic Ukraine.
Zhadan Sergey Viktorovich was born on August 23, 1974 in the town of Starobelsk, near Luhansk. After graduation, Sergey entered the Kharkiv Pedagogical Institute. Just after his move, the state of the USSR ceased to exist, and Ukraine, which became independent, plunged into the hungry nineties. For Sergey, this was a time of accumulating life and poetic experience. He communicated with punks, wrote poems and went to concerts at the Russian Rock Club. Images of those times were included in his best-selling book Depesh Maud (2004).
After graduating from the institute, Zhadan entered postgraduate school and published the first three poetry collections “Citatnik” (1995), “General Yuda” (1995) and “Pepsi” (1998). In the early 2000s, the economic situation in the country gradually began to improve, and Sergey began to socialize. He got a job as a teacher at his own institute, was engaged in translations and established relations with the Ukrainian creative intelligentsia.
However, Zhadan was also interested in the public life of the country. Considering the best form of government for Ukraine anarchy, he promoted this idea to the masses and organized a cultural festival "Gulaipole" in a place where once ruled Makhno. In 2004, during the Orange Revolution, Sergey Zhadan was the commandant of a tent town in Kharkiv, and went to independent writers.
For his work, Sergey received many awards and awards, in particular the Book of the Year award for Voroshilovgrad (2010) from the BBC. His most popular works are Anarchy in the UKR (2005), Anthem Democratically Young (2006) and Big Mac (2003; 2007).
In 2009, Sergey Zhadan married Irina Drana, with whom they live together in Kharkiv. /
