Bohdan Ptashnyk is a Volyn writer and veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian war, author of historical-adventure novels. He first fought in 2014, was remobilized in 2022, and has since returned to writing. His debut novel was “The Resurrection of the Atlanteans”, and in December 2024 he released “Yurii Khmelnytsky: The Battle of Chudniv”, a historical-adventure work.
📖 He wrote “The Resurrection of the Atlanteans” between his combat missions–and even read passages on the front line. 📚 “Yurii Khmelnytsky: The Battle of Chudniv” aims to reevaluate a historical commander often misunderstood. 🏹 One character, a maestro-artilleryman from Kisylin Academy, blends history and creative imagination. 💬 He believes history should stitch together past and present–like arrows crossing time. 🤣 Funny: at a book presentation, children asked, “Is Yurii really a super-heroic hetman?”
