However, most of the representatives of this wave of Ukrainian revival died during the Civil War, the Holodomor of 1932-33, Red Terror, and the Bolshevik repressions of the 30s. In 1938–1954, about 240 Ukrainian writers were repressed, although many of them were supporters of the Soviet government, fought for it, and became writers after the revolution. Some of them were shot, some died in prison, and the fate of some of them remained unknown after the arrests. The poet M. Rylsky, recognized by the Soviet authorities, was arrested and spent 10 years in the camps on charges of participating in a mythical Ukrainian military organization. Ostap Vyshnya, G. Kosynka, M. Zerov, M. Kulish, Y. Pluzhnyk, and M. Semenko were shot. M. Khvylovy, who tried to save many comrades, committed suicide. The Experimental Theater "Berezil" was also banned, and its head — the world-famous director Les Kurbas - was arrested and shot. This generation of writers in the history of Ukrainian literature has become known as — "Executed Renaissance."
