Chervony Shliakh

Chervonyi Shliach was a political and literary-scientific monthly that was founded in 1923 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It continued to be published until February 1936. The first directors of the magazine were prominent Ukrainian statesmen, Hryhoriy Hrynko, who was replaced, due to his transfer to Moscow sometime in mid 1923, by Oleksandr Shumsky. Shumsky was fired from the position as well as the position of People's Commissar of Education in 1926 for nationalistic deviation. For a short period of time the position of director was given to Mykhailo Yalovy and Mykola Khvylovy, who were eventually displaced for nationalistic deviations. In 1927 the magazine was headed by Volodymyr Zatonsky. The magazine published the work of major Ukrainian writers and journalists such as Ivan Kulyk, Pavlo Tychyna, Pavlo Khrystiuk, Mykola Skrypnyk, V. Yurynets, and many others.
