The book of the most important and original Ukrainian playwright Mykola Kulish (1892–1937) includes two plays written by him in and about Kharkiv: “Myna Mazailo” and “People’s Malachi”.
These are the writer’s strongest works, which depict the Soviet reality in Ukraine during the period of Ukrainization and the NEP. Comedy and tragicomedy. The comic and primitive Myna, who breaks with tradition and origin, wanting to rise above himself, with his absurd: “In such a, so to speak, small poem, there is such a power of correct pronunciations” – and the absolutely tragic Malachi in his crazy impulse, who is so reminiscent of Cervantes’ Don Quixote and who, according to Yurii Shevelov, “…some threads lead… to Christ”.
Both works, which constitute, according to the definition of the same Yurii Shevelov, part of Mykola Kulish's "Sixth Symphony", are published as first editions in the magazine "Literary Fair".
