A lecture by historian Lyudmyla Turchyna (the “Historian Every Saturday” series) on Mykola Khvylovy. The article draws on the section about the Executed Renaissance: Khvylovy as a leader of the Ukrainian cultural revival of the 1920s, the Soviet suppression of the movement (his being sent abroad in 1928, the plenums of the Central Committee of the CP(b)U, Skrypnyk’s class-based branding of “Khvylovism,” and the imposition of socialist realism), and his suicide in 1933 against the backdrop of the Holodomor. A source for the article on the Executed Renaissance.
