Influences

Spanish poet and scholar Federico García Lorca, a proponent of pantheism and a master of connections and intuitive sense of the universe, is one of her favorite writers.

Political positions

Kalytko claimed in an interview that she always knew a Russian-Ukrainian conflict was inevitable—it was only delayed—and that it would come eventually. because until we ultimately leave Russia's sphere of control, our independence is a puppet state. We have only had five years of actual independence up to this point. She was quite critical of Ukrainian society before the Revolution of Dignity, saying things like "everyone here is infantile, idealess, and when the war begins, everyone will run away somewhere." She felt terrible guilt over this.[15]

Personal life

Kalytko's mother suffered a great deal when giving birth to her as a result of the callous disregard for her needs displayed by physicians and midwives who, on March 8, insulted her sentiments and refused to listen to her pleas. Instead, they hurriedly sat down to celebrate International Women's Day. As an adult, she detests March 8 in its current form, her birthday, and the lack of female camaraderie and respect that older women show for younger ones. Additionally, when she was five years old, she quietly informed her grandma that she had no intention of getting married and that guys just caused her trouble since they were bothersome.
