Mykhaylo Osadchy graduated from Lviv University in 1958.[1] He taught there from 1960 to 1965. He was arrested in 1965, spent 8 months waiting for a court decision and was finally sentenced to two years' imprisonment in 1966. He was tried together with Mykhailo, Horyn's brother Bohdan Horyn, and M. Zvarychevska.[1]
Osadchy was arrested for the second time January 1972.[2] That September he was sentenced to seven years of labour camp and three years of exile.[2]
He was able to return to teaching at Lviv University in 1990. In 1992, Osadchy became a member of the Writer's Union of Ukraine.

Osadchy's first book of poetry, 'The Moonlit Field' (Ukrainian: Місячне поле), was published in 1965 before his arrest. In 1971 his memoir 'Cataract' (Ukrainian: Більмо), was published. It was translated into French in 1974[3] and into English by Marco Carynnyk in 1976.[4] His second collection of poems was published in 1979 and was called 'Quos ego'. The third one, 'The Scythian Altar' (Ukrainian: Скифський вівтар), was published in 1990.
