Ivan Bahrianyi (1906-1963) was a writer whose work came to the attention of his compatriots only many years after his death. Repressed in 1932 and exiled to the Far East, he survived escape, arrest, and emigration to Germany. An important phenomenon in Ukrainian literature is his novel Man Running Over the Abyss and the story The Circle of Fire, both set during the Second World War. The main characters of these works are ordinary Ukrainians who are trying to fight against the world of violence represented by two totalitarian systems, the Soviet and the Nazi. In 1992, the writer was posthumously awarded the Taras Shevchenko National Prize.
