Abstract
In this paper we review the contribution of the writers, poets and painters of the so-called "Executed Renaissance" to Ukrainian culture. We showcase the peculiarities and dimensions of this phenomenon. The Ukrainian National Revival of the 1920s is shown as a spiritual process and movement, a model of perception of the world of the executed generation. We try to outline the most important features of the Ukrainian elite's worldview and to showcase their political, ideological and ethical principles which partly caused further repressions. The creative process of the Ukrainian intellectual elite had stunning results: thousands of papers and translations of the world best fiction and non-fiction books, numerous poetic anthologies, bibliographical reference books, readers, monographs. This fast cultural growth was aborted by the World War I. The National Revolution of 1917 droved for a very short time a new spire of the cultural prosperity, but the establishing of the Soviet State directed this cultural Renaissance to its very end, so to say to the execution of the Ukrainian cultural elite.
