The writings, according to Mr. Mo– roz, arc just as important as the human being, "in them there is more of me than within myself," he said, "and the fate of my creative works is more important than my own fate." Among the writings, he said there were novels, short stories, humoresques and observations, and a work about vasyl Stefanyk. The authorities also kept his books, family mementos and an icon.
