The story of one of the biggest crimes of the Soviet power is the destruction of a powerful art movement that emerged in Kharkov in the 1920s and 1930s. The most famous artists of Ukrainian culture – writers, poets, artists, directors – lived in 66 apartments of the house called Slovo. These are Nikolai Khvylovy, and Mike Jogansen, and Paul Tychyna, and Natalia Uzhvii, and Vladimir Sosyura, and Ostap Cherry, and Oles Kurbas, and Mikhail Yalovy, and Ivan Bagryany, and Raisa Troyan and others. The intelligentsia specially gathered in one place over the next few years was repressed, shot or converted into party members.
