The narrative begins in December 1917, when Skrypnyk set out for Kharkiv on Lenin’s personal orders, and covers his years in the Cheka and the People’s Commissariat of Justice, the development of the policy of Ukrainization and his own theory of the national question, up to his break with Stalin and suicide in 1933 after being accused of “national deviation”: the author calls this turning point the “fall of the national utopian.” The appendices include Skrypnyk’s own autobiography, the resolution of the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat of Education, an extensive bibliography, and an index of names; the pasted-in endpaper features a portrait of Skrypnyk by Anatol Petrytskyi (1930–31).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIvan Koshelyvets (1907, Velyka Koshelylivka, Chernihiv Oblast — 1999, Munich) was a literary scholar and critic, an honorary member of the NTSh and UVAN, and an honorary doctor of the Ukrainian Free University in Munich.

Among the prisoners are Shturman and Komandarm; an old prisoner is brought into the cell, whom the debilitated men, in a collective delirium, greet as Karl Marx himself and beg to save.

Pidmohylny keeps these two scenes side by side without explanation—nature’s indifference to human death is precisely what the work is about. The sketch was first published in the Katerynoslav collection “In the Whirl of the Revolution” (1920); here it is presented as a separate book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preface was signed by Vasyl Vernivoly—a pseudonym of the linguist Vasyl Symovych (1880–1944), who edited Ukrainian publications by Orenstein in Germany. He presents the twenty-year-old debutant as perhaps the most notable appearance in Ukrainian fiction since the war, compares him to Chekhov for his psychological insight and to Stefanyk for his conciseness, and notes that the author is currently teaching at a labor school in Vorzel, near Kyiv. Valerian Pidmohylny (1901–1937) was a prose writer, the future author of the novel “The City,” and a translator of French classics; arrested in 1934, he was shot on November 3, 1937, in the Sandarmokh ravine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “General Library” series belonged to Yakiv Orenstein (1875–1942), a Kolomyia publisher who moved to Berlin after 1919 and printed books at the K. G. Reder printing house in Leipzig; he continued to list “Kyiv—Leipzig” on the title pages, although the publishing house was no longer operating in Kyiv. By the early 1930s, about 238 volumes had been published in the series. Pidmohylny’s lifetime editions were removed from libraries after his arrest, so they are rarely found in circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62580814479731,"sku":"SKU-00109","price":11250.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15302756172147.jpg?v=1793985209"},{"product_id":"kanitfershtan-poema-1945-mosendz-leonid","title":"KANITFERSHTAN: A POEM. 1945 MOSENDZ LEONID","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKANNITVERSTAN: A POEM. 1945\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMOSENDZ LEONID Innsbruck: Published by I.

The plot is based on a famous European legend (in particular, based on the novella by Johann Peter Hebel) about misunderstanding due to ignorance of the language: the main character, the Ukrainian Cossack-spy Hordiy, ends up in Amsterdam and receives the answer \"Kannitverstan\" (Dutch Ik kan niet verstaan — \"I don't understand\") to all questions, which he takes for the name of an almighty rich man. Through the prism of humor, the author depicts the longing for the Fatherland and the philosophical reflection on the transience of wealth. The edition opens with an epigraph by H.
