Biography Born as Mykola Fitilyov in Trostianets, Akhtyrsky Uyezd, Kharkov Governorate, Russian Empire to a Russian laborer father and Ukrainian schoolteacher mother.

He wrote a number of pamphlets presenting his views of the connection between politics and art. He advocated an orientation toward cultural trends in Western Europe in order to loosen Ukraine's dependence on Russian forms and inspiration, as he deemed excessive Russian influence on Ukrainian literature as something akin to colonialism. His pamphlets created a major controversy and divided representatives of the budding Ukrainian literary scene and created tensions with the authorities. In the second series, Dumky proty techyi (Thoughts against the Current), which appeared in Kul’tura i pobut in November–December 1925 and separately in 1926, Khvylovy further developed his argument against the "cult of epigonism". By adopting a psycho-intellectual orientation on Europe, he argued, Ukrainians can enter onto their own path of development. Leaving aside poetry, from which the writer soon turned to prose, the work of M. Khvylovy following G. A. Kostyuk can be divided into three periods:…
