The subject of the text is analyze of the existentialism motives in the early prose of Valery Shevchuk. These motives are: loneliness, alienation, anxiety, a sense of the absurd. Ukrainian reality of 60th-70th is described like an experience of political regime. This makes realistic the categories, analyzed by the existentialist philosophy on abstraction level. „Hell of everyday life” in this prose is not only the need to struggle with a sense of alienation and estrangement, but - at first - this is an experience of living in a totalitarian state.
