In 2027, Raiduga turns 100 years old. For a long time, the magazine introduced readers to the best Ukrainian writers writing in Russian. After the outbreak of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, it also began publishing in Ukrainian. During the difficult war years, it became a quarterly publication and positions itself as an almanac.
Among writers now widely known outside of Ukraine, Andrey Kurkov, Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, and Anatoly Krym made their debuts at Raiduga. The prose of Raiduga's authors (Alexander Volodarsky, Nikolai Khomich, Boris Finkelstein, Valentina Aksi, Henry Lion Oldie, Marianna Goncharova, Alexander Khurgin, Alexander Mardan, Alexey Kurilko, Sergey Cherepanov, and others) has since been successfully published as individual books in various countries: the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, China, Poland, Switzerland, and so on.
Readers and literary critics also highly praise the poetry on the pages of Raiduga. Regular contributors include Alexander Kabanov, Irina Evsa, Mikhail Yudovsky, Irina Ivanchenko, and Yuriy Rybchinsky. Every year, Raiduga discovers new talented names. Most recently, Lina Mikhailova and Vadym Petrasyuk were featured. Since 2022, each issue of Raiduga has addressed the current war—the resilience and courage of Ukraine and the atrocities of Putin's horde.
