Born in Transcarpathia, Ukraine, Angelika grew up under communism and later lived in Hungary, Canada, and the Netherlands. A multilingual investigative journalist, she brings lived experience, cultural authenticity, and emotional truth to her storytelling.
Her debut novel, LOVE IN COMMUNISM. A Young Woman’s Adult Story, draws directly from her intimate knowledge of the USSR—its rules, its silences, and the resilience of women navigating love, danger, identity, and survival.
Her work has been read and reviewed internationally.
⭐ Editorial Praise

❤️ Why I Wrote Love in Communism
I recently shared why I wrote Love in Communism — a personal story behind the novel:
