In the spring of 1930, a trial of the members of the "Union for the Liberation of Ukraine" was held at the Kharkiv Opera Theater. They — leading Ukrainian intellectuals, cultural and public figures — were accused of anti-Soviet activities and sentenced to imprisonment. But did the "SVU" actually exist?
The lyrical-journalistic investigation "Ammunition for Execution (My Nenko, My Nenko...)" is a stunning investigation by Geliy Snegirev, in which the author concludes: the "SVU" case was fabricated by Soviet special services to discredit Ukrainian intellectuals and justify persecution and repression. The author paid for this with his health and, ultimately, his life.
