Rylsky Maksym Tadeyovych (March 19, 1895 - July 24, 1964) was a Ukrainian Soviet poet, translator, publicist, public figure, linguist, and literary critic. Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Rylsky's work was divided into two streams - official and lyrical, in the latter he managed to create politically independent, purely artistic works that outlived the poet. However, this did not prevent the Soviet authorities from "preventively" slandering him. In particular, in early October 1947, the newspaper "Soviet Ukraine" published an article "On the Nationalistic Mistakes of M. Rylsky", where he is accused of "bourgeois objectivism, lack of Bolshevik party affiliation and forgetting the truth that the content of Soviet ideology and culture was Bolshevik ideology... he did not master the foundations of the Marxist-Leninist worldview... he did not get rid of the influence of bourgeois-nationalist ideology."
