Describing her impression of the winners of the Debyut (Debut) Prize, the critic Lyudmila Vyazmitinova wrote about Ivaniv’s work:

“Ivaniv's texts seem to reproduce the multidirectional movements of the many nested images, simultaneously born in a saturated point in space, to which the author's gaze is directed. <...> But in all the texts, there is a desire for what Ivaniv himself has called "rise me above the panorama"  this sets a certain vertical movement, giving hope for a new horizon for a gaze that breaks through into a new order of magnitude of vision, of sensation, of the ability to convey all this - is a new order of magnitude for the organisation of words.”

Remembering

In 2015, the online journal Kulturnaya Initziativa [kulturinfo.ru] published a short collection of poems dedicated to the passing of Victor Ivaniv.^[10]

In April 2017 in Novosibirsk, to coincide with the 40-year anniversary of the birth of Victor Ivaniv, the first Ivanivskie chteniya (“The Readings of Ivaniv”) took place.
