"Favst" is a short story by the Ukrainian writer Hryhoriy Kosynka, written in 1923 and published in the Ukrainian Seed magazine. The main character is put through prison trials: Muravyov's dungeons and the White Guard torture chamber.
The story tells of the tragic fate of Prokop Konyushyna, a peasant from Podillia who, unable to bear the abuse, formed a detachment and fought against the attackers. In prison, the investigators demand a confession from him, and he dies in Muravyov's Bolshevik prisons, leaving an indestructible faith in the happy future of the Ukrainian people and not becoming a traitor.
The main idea of the novel is to exalt the protest against violence by the authorities, the desire for freedom, the freedom of the peasants, and the independence of Ukraine; the awareness of one's own dignity and honour; the search for the meaning of one's existence.
