Edvard Kozak (1902–1992), known by pseudonyms such as EKO, Mamai, and Hryts Zozulia, was a multifaceted artist—painter, caricaturist, illustrator, film animator, graphic artist, and writer. Renowned for his satirical drawings and writings, Kozak offered a sharp and enduring commentary on political and social developments within the Ukrainian community for over half a century.
