The Grandfather Svyryd, or Svyryd Opanasovych, is a simple rural old man. He lives in the countryside, keeps farming, likes to talk about politics and how people lived earlier. The Grandfather Svyryd is the mask of the popular blogger and author of the five-volume project "History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svyryd". Two books of the project are already accessible to readers. The "History" is a folk book because it was written at the request of many thousands of Svyryd Opanasovych's blog readers.
