After moving to Voroshilovgrad from 1944 to 1959 he worked in the newspaper “Voroshilovgrad truth” as a literary worker, department head, and literary editor [1] [3] . For several years he worked as an editor of a regional book publishing house. In 1965, he became the founder and first leader of the newly formed Lugansk Writing Organization as part of the Union of Soviet Writers of Ukraine [1] [3] .
In 1952 he graduated in absentia from the Faculty of History and Philology of the Lugansk Pedagogical Institute named after T. G. Shevchenko [1] .
The author of the books “Meetings”, “Mariyka”, “The Sky Will Be Clear”, the novels “Son of the Dead”, “Red Snow”, plays “Sons” (co-authored) and “The Living Chain”, put on radio, television and on the stage of Lugansk Russian Drama Theater.
The subjects of the works were: the heroic history of Donbass, the life and work of miners, rural workers, the formation of youth, the events of the civil and domestic wars, the restoration of the national economy after military devastation (the novel “The Son of the Deceased”), the struggle for peace (“The sky will be clear”).
The most large-scale work of T.M. Rybas is the novel "Red Snow", awarded in 1971 the prize of the Union of Writers and the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions for the best work on a thematic subject (it has been reprinted more than once in mass editions). The novel is based on the events of the Civil War in the Donbass during 1918-1919.
He was elected a member of the board of the Union of Writers of Ukraine , a member of the Republican Committee on Shevchenko Prizes , a candidate member of the regional party committee, and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor .
Lugansk literary organization immediately after its foundation became a place where young writers received the help of senior comrades, benevolent criticism, and sometimes support in difficult circumstances.
Novice writers and poets Valery Poluiko, Anatoly Romanenko, Alexander Lebedinsky, Leonid Kolomoytsev, Benjamin Maltsev found in the person of T.M. Rybas a skilled and caring mentor. In 1966, in the All-Union magazine “Youth” , thanks to T.M. Rybas, the story “All deaths to spite” was published by the young miner Vladislav Titov , who lost his hands in an accident and wrote with a pencil in his teeth. T.M. Rybas was the "literary father" of his nephew, the famous Russian writer Svyatoslav Rybas .
As the executive secretary of the writers' organization, T.M. Rybas became one of the organizers of the cultural life of Donbass in the 60s and 70s. He actively participated in the organization and conduct of the Days of Art and Literature in Lugansk and the region, took part in the Days of Art and Literature in Tyumen, Syktyvkar, Kazan.
The writer’s organization practiced “Meetings with Readers,” when both mature and young writers gathered Evenings of meetings in the cities of the Luhansk region, as well as came to enterprises and talked directly with people.
In the Soviet literary community, both in Kiev and in Moscow, T.M. Rybas had great authority as a writer with a pronounced civic position. Kiev in those years was distinguished, on the one hand, by the high protective activity of censorship, and on the other, by the nationalist sentiments of the intelligentsia. Both that and another T.M. Rybas was alien: censorship - as an honest writer, nationalism - as an intellectual from the people who understood the inextricability of Russian and Ukrainian cultures.
T.M. Rybas was pointed out the inadmissibility of attention to the personalities of Nestor Makhno , Anton Denikin , Vladimir Vinnichenko in the novel "Red Snow".
The novel was first published in the Moscow publishing house "Soviet Writer" , and this caused jealousy of Kiev colleagues T.M. Rybas.
T.M. Rybas died on March 12, 1977, 2 days before his 58th birthday, at the Poltava hospital, on his way from Kiev to Lugansk. [1] [3] .
