7:54 Uhr; Am 1056. Tag der groß angelegten Invasion geht die Sonne über Kiew auf. Das Slovo-Gebäude, einst die Heimat vieler prominenter Ukrainer, die von Russen hingerichtet wurden.

At the beginning of the 1920s, writers in the city of Kharkiv were living in harsh conditions. They had the idea of establishing an apartment building for people in the literary world, which they called the Slovo (Word) Building.

However, the building did not save them: instead, it turned into a place of persecution, nicknamed ‘The Pre-Execution House’ by writer Ivan Bahrianyi. The majority of the Slovo Building’s residents were part of the ‘Executed Renaissance’ generation, who became the victims of repression in the 1930s.
