The Holodomor is not the only tragedy of the Ukrainian people. The second no less tragedy is the destruction of the nation's brain, because when the nation's brain is destroyed, it leads to its terrible decline.In the biographical information about the authors whose works were included in the anthology "Unknown Shot Renaissance", no reasons are given arrest and criminal articles under which they were tried: they are all the same - if not the Ukrainian Military Organization (UVO), which "set as its goal the organization of counter-revolutionary insurgent forces", then "active counter-revolutionary activity aimed at overthrowing the Soviet government and establishing a Ukrainian bourgeois of the democratic republic", and even completely ridiculous ones - assassination attempts on members of the government, work for foreign counterintelligence, etc. Most of the names of these writers are unknown to a wider circle of readers, and almost all the works included in this anthology are published for the first time after the death of their authors. Interesting discoveries await the reader. Pyotr Golota's story "Alkegal" is very reminiscent of Venedikt Yerofeev's legendary work "Moscow-Petushki", where the hero is in constant contact with alcohol, experiencing various adventures. In Serhii Zhigalko's story "Narcissus and Herculaneum", two devils became the heroes. Boris Teneta's novel "Harmony and the Pig" was once condemned as a slander on Soviet reality and banned. Pyotr Vanchenko's story "The Tale of a Bay Mare" also turned out to be anti-Soviet, the author even had to repent of having written it.The reader will also be interested in getting to know the previously unknown poems of Ludmila Starytska-Chernyakhivska and Vasyl Chumak's brother Mykola , a fantastic story by Oleksa Slisarenko and many other works that have not lost their value and relevance even in our time.
