Valerian Pidmohylnyi (1901–1937) was one of the most prominent Ukrainian modernist writers, translators, and literary scholars of the early twentieth century. Three years after his arrest by the Soviet authorities in 1934, Pidmohylnyi was executed in Sandarmokh (Karelian Republic) with over 1,000 other prominent Ukrainian writers, poets, intellectuals, and activists in what later was dubbed the Executed Renaissance.
