The fate of directors of the Polish Theatre Ivan Lypynskyi and Oleksandr Hordiienko-Letuhin

Section: Personality in the biography science discourse

Abstract: In the article based on archival documents deposited in the Branch State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Central State Archive of Public Associations of Ukraine and the Central State Archive-Museum of Literature and Art of Ukraine the author highlights the fate of two directors of the Kyiv Polish Theatre — Ivan Lypynskyi and Oleksandr Hordiienko-Letuhin. Their paths of life, despite their different national origins and features of personality formation, had much in common and were typical for Soviet intellectual artists in the 1920s–1930s. Both belonged to the category of “persons nominated”, directed by party organs “for battling on the cultural front”. They tried, as they understood, to serve their cause. However, both were repressed by the Soviet punitive system.

Keywords: Ivan Lypynskyi, Oleksandr Hordiienko-Letuhin, Polish Theatre, Kyiv, People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs.
