Oleh Bolyuk, Wooden sacred artefacts (as based on Ukraine's western regions). Lviv: Institute of ethnology national Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 2020, pp. 520. Oleh Bolyuk's book is an impressive work in terms of content and editing. enclosed in hardcovers, navy blue with gold embellishments, with 260 A3-size half-chalk pages, nearly 450 color and black-and-white illustrations in the margins as well as inserted into the text, it entices with its enviably beautiful layout and extreme editorial diligence.

Харків: Видавець Савчук О.О., pp. 472; first editions in 1913 and 1926) and works on wooden churches: the irreplaceable Mykhailo

These convincing relationships shed light on the origin of Babino Culture.
