Izdryk's father, Roman Andriiovych, spent his youth in the village of Gremyachinsk of the Perm region.

Around the same time, his interests in literature began, reading Vsevolod Nestayko, Stepan Rudansky, Aleksandr Kuprin, and the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.

[This quote needs a citation] Izdryk graduated from music school in cello and piano, and also played guitar and mandolin.

After graduation, he entered the Lviv Polytechnic Institute's Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, where he studied art history, played in rock bands, and participated in productions of an amateur student theatre.

[citation needed] At the end of the 1980s, he participated in numerous official and unofficial artistic events and exhibitions and collaborated with the Komsomol oblast newspaper.

In 1990, at one of the artistic events (during the preparation of the biennial "Impreza" that took place in Ivano-Frankivsk), Izdryk met with Yurii Andrukhovych, which became a decisive factor in his life.

The style of these early works led some critics to believe that Izdryk was a pseudonym of Andrukhovych, as certain stories, characters and phrases are similar – which later came to distinguish the creators of the Stanislav phenomenon.

[citation needed] In 2009, Izdryk published the collections of essays and sketches Flash 2GB and TAKE, for which he received a 2010 Book of the Year award from BBC-Ukraine.

[citation needed] In 2014, while attending the International Scholarship for Poets, Meridian Czernowitz in Chernivtsi, Izdryk began collaborating on the Summa media project,[7] which involves the constant communication of the authors with the audience.

In this form of postmodernism, authors try to answer the question of whether members of this group are really postmodernists, or if they are some type of modern avant-garde.
