In 1941, when this territory returned to Romania, she was unable to leave Chernivtsi due to health problems. Her apartment was searched, and several works and manuscripts were seized and vanished without trace. The Romanian government ordered the writer to be brought before a military court. Before her trial was completed, on 21 March 1942, Olha Kobylianska died at the age of 78. Romanian authorities banned Ukrainians from paying their last respects to the writer, with only relatives attending the funeral.

German-language works Some of her works, written in the early period of creativity (before the transition to the Ukrainian language), were written in German. Style of writing Her writings were influenced by George Sand and Friedrich Nietzsche. Kobylianska was interested in the Ukrainian peasantry, and often wrote about the lives of these people. She depicted the struggle between good and evil and the mystical force of nature, predestination, magic, and the irrational in many of her stories of peasant life. Her works are known for their impressionistic, lyrical descriptions of nature and subtle psychological portrayals. Kobylianska's works have been published in many editions and selections. In 1944, a literary memorial museum dedicated to her was opened in Chernivtsi, in the building in which she lived from 1938 to 1942. Solomiia Pavlychko has noted the strong homoerotic motifs found in Kobylians'ka's published work, most notably Valse mélancolique.
