"Borislav Is Laughing" is novel by the Ukrainian author Ivan
Franko. Together with "Boa-Constrictor" and a number of short
stories, it describes the development of the oil industry in the
Borislav region - the rise and growth of both the oil barons and
the oil workers. Franko made a close study of his subject. This was
thee first time the workers' theme was dealt with in Ukrainian
literature - and one of the first in world literature. Of "Borislav
Is Laughing" Ivan Franko wrote: "This was an attempt to show the
native labour movement of the Borislav oil workers, which ended
with the great Borislav fire in the autumn of 1873."
