Mykola Kulish

Mykola Kulish was born in December 1892 in Chaplynka, in Taurida, the son of an agricultural day labourer; his mother died early and he spent part of his childhood in an orphanage. People from the area raised money so that he could continue his studies at Olechky. Mobilised during the First World War, he served as an officer at the front. He then worked with Les Kurbas's Berezil theatre. Arrested in December 1934, he was sentenced to ten years in a camp on the Solovki Islands and was shot at Sandarmokh, in Karelia, on 3 November 1937, at the age of forty-four.
