Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky, as a representative of the social and domestic trend of realism, always tends to show a panorama of life and to describe it in ethnographic details in space and time. The author’s position appears distinct in the writings of intellectuals. The author’s viewpoint reveals itself not as a solely subjective sense, but as a general signifi cant idea. The choice of the form of an epic tale in Nechuy–Levytsky’s writings about intellectuals was greatly infl uenced by his tales of country life. Detailed descriptions of the stage, different scenes, and elements which have no direct relevance to the plot, play a signifi cant role in the writings of the intellectual, because of his maximum thoroughness and objectivity. Newsreel narration defi ned the basic principle of the structure and composition of Nechuy-Levytsky’s works, which are used for the opening and organising images.
