Wandering the Edge

The Executed Renaissance - the "Slovo" Building in the 1930s


Listen Later

Who was part of the Red Renaissance - a group of Ukrainian communist artist-intellectuals who got to live in their own apartment building? This one buiding in central Kharkiv became Stalin's "Great Terror Lite" - before the terror of the late 1930's, Stalin managed to arrest, exile or execute 90% of the residents of this "Slovo" building. Why and how? Find out in this episode of Wandering the Edge along with some fascinating information about Ukraine's most prominent modernist, experimental theater group named after one of those artists killed by Stalin.
