- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Ukrainian writer and commentator Iaroslav Aleksandrovich Halan (1902-49) was born in the city of Dynov (now Dynów, Powiat rzeszowski, Poland). He studied at the Universities of Vienna (1923-26) and Krakow (1926-28). He began his literary activities as a dramatist in 1927, and was one of the organisers and leaders of the writers’ organisation Horno (1929-39). From 1930-32, he worked at the journal Vikna. From 1932-39 he was involved in the communist underground, taking part in organising and conducting the Cultural Workers’ Anti-Fascist Congress (Lwów, 1936). During the Second World War, he worked in the editorial offices of frontline newspapers and radio stations, and he was in attendance at the Nuremberg Trials in 1945-46. He was killed in L’vov/L’viv in a terrorist act that some believe was arranged by entities of the Ministry of State Security.
