Life
Yakiv Savchenko was born in Shabky ( Жабки ) in what is now Lochwyzja Rajon of the Ukrainian Poltava Oblast, the son of a peasant family.
He began studying at the St. Vladimir University in Kiev, which he did not finish. He then worked as a teacher in the Sumy region and then worked in Zhytomyr in the Strumko publishing house . His first poem was published in Lviv in the magazine Illustrierte Ukraine .
His early poetic works were influenced by symbolism. After briefly turning to Futurism, he gave up poetry and turned to literary criticism. In the 1920s he initially worked for the Kiev newspapers Bolshevik ( Більшовик ) and Proletarskaya Pravda ( Пролетарська правда ), and from 1929 he was editor at the film studio (WUFKU) ( ісеукраїнсФке ) ( ісеукраїнсФка ) ( УКня Вонутука ). During this period he also had his most fruitful creative phase, when he actively published in newspapers and magazines and published books. Between 1931 and 1933 he worked in a film factory and at the same time taught directing at the Kiev Cinema Institute until he was relieved of his teaching and editing work due to nationalist views. Savchenko belonged to the literary group Shovten and the All-Ukrainian Association of Proletarian Writers and was non-party. He was arrested at his home on the night of September 17, 1937 and charged on October 1 with being a member of an anti-Soviet nationalist organization and conducting espionage, sabotage and terrorist activities against the Soviet government . On November 1, 1937, he was sentenced to death by shooting, and the sentence was carried out the following day. On November 27, 1958, he was posthumously rehabilitated.
