He was taken almost from the stage of the opera house. They tortured him and demanded that he confess to sins he did not have. He had only one - Ukrainian patriotism. He was shot in 1941 in the NKVD torture chamber. Thus, Ukraine lost a coryphaeus of opera art, who was remembered with great admiration by Ivan Kozlovsky, Maksym Rylsky, Maria Lytvynenko-Volhemut, Mykhailo Hryshko... Mykola Kaharlytskyi devoted 40 years to this topic, collecting bit by bit details of this executed life. This is the first - and surprisingly vivid, factually rich - biographical book about the giant of the national opera Mykhailo Donets!
