“Dziuba - the figure of the century”

These words were said in 1964 by the editor of emigration magazine “Modernity” Ivan Koshelivets. A few years later the KGB (State Security Committee) chief of Ukraine “comrade” Fedorchuk came to the cell of Ivan Dziuba, who was arrested after having written the work “Internationalism or Russification?”, and asserted that soon he will be forgotten by all people. General was wrong because even in those stagnant times such a disgraced work was published in forty countries, even in communist China. And its author even now is one of the most famous thinker and diagnostician of the time. It is testified by his new book “The injection of darkness” that was published and coincided to the recent anniversary of the Hero of Ukraine Academician Ivan Dziuba (on the 26th of July he celebrated his 80 birthday). This is, however, shown by the previously issued three volume edition of “From the Well of Ages”, the book “Pornocracy on the march”, three volume edition of Russian "Through whirl of the time”, etc.
But the most intimate out of personality and life of Ivan Dziuba are revealed in his book “Memories and reflections on the home straight” which accumulated at least half a century in almost 1000 pages. So we will start from this book.
