- Administrative/biographical history:
- The writer, literary and theatre historian, composer and bandura musician Gnat Martynovich Khotkevich (1877-1938) was born in Khar’kov. He graduated from the Khar’kov Technology Institute in 1900. He immigrated to Galicia and lived there from 1906-1912, and then lived in Kiev and Khar’kov. From 1915-17 he served an administrative exile in the Kursk and Voronezh provinces, and from 1925-28 he taught at the Khar’kov Music and Drama Institute. He wrote stories, novellas, plays, studies of the history of nineteenth-century Ukrainian literature and theatre, and a manual on how to play the bandura. He also founded several people’s theatres. He was subjected to political repression on trumped-up charges in 1938 and shot by decree of the Khar’kov Regional NKVD Administration’s “Special Troika.” He was posthumously rehabilitated on 24 April 1956.
