This is an automatically translated description

The article by Ukrainian politician and statesman, prose writer, playwright and artist Volodymyr Vynnychenko was published in 1926. The writer covers the issue of his return to Ukraine and his relations with the Soviet government, analyses the political and economic situation in the USSR at the time, and discusses current issues of Ukrainian life, including his thoughts on the national question, Ukrainianisation, the need for the return of intellectuals to Ukraine, and the assassination of Symon Petliura.

In the play Young Blood, first published in 1913, the playwright not only treats this plot in an original way, but also presents a sophisticated parody of its common use in Ukrainian melodrama. Behind the vicissitudes of Vynnychenko's work, some features of classical dramas can be clearly seen - «Until the sun rises, the dew will eat your eyes out» by M. Kropyvnytskyi, «Not Fated» by M. Starytskyi, and even more so by their numerous epigone imitators. These features - eloquence, romantic sublimity, tearful folk admiration not for the spirit but for the brilliance of rural customs and rituals, etc. - are now being satirised.
