The Kapranov Brothers – Ukrainian writers of the 20th–21st centuries, authors of “Kobzar 2000” and “Love Potion.” They work as a twin duo, blending historical fiction, satire, and fantasy. Also known as cultural activists and promoters of Ukrainian literature.
👬 Dmytro and Vitaliy Kapranov are identical twins who always write together. 📚 Their debut “Kobzar 2000” reimagined Shevchenko in modern mythology, sparking debate. 🖋 Experiment with genres – from historical fiction to fantasy. 📖 “Love Potion” playfully explores folk beliefs and myths. 🎤 Known as publishers and organisers of literary events in Ukraine. 💡 Frequently appear in media as columnists and commentators. 🎶 Collaborated with musicians, mixing literature and rock culture. 🌍 Lived in Moscow in the 1990s, but returned to Ukraine to write in Ukrainian. 📖 Pioneered “folk fantasy” rooted in local traditions. 😮 Odd fact: once swapped roles live on TV – viewers never noticed. 😂 Funny: joke that they write together only because “one is too lazy.”
