Abstract
<jats:p>This book comprises a presentation of research on the life and work of the writer Ivan Dniprovsky – representative of Ukraine’s Executed Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s – and an academic edition of his manuscripts scattered around museum and archives throughout Ukraine. Dniprovsky’s egodocuments contain autobiographical information as well as a gallery of portraits of artists active in Kharkiv in that period, including Mykola Khvylovy, Mykola Kulish, Ostap Vyshnia, Arkady Liubchenko, among many others. Dniprovsky diary, memoirs and works of prose constitute an important source of information on the period’s cultural life, especially on the legendary Slovo Building, where mass repression against the Ukrainian intelligentsia first began.</jats:p>
