Brief description
Creating the image of Ukrainian politician, publicist, ideologist of Ukrainian nationalism Dmytro Dontsov (1883-1973), S. Gordynsky appealed to church symbolism. The figure, clad in priestly robes, speaks from the pulpit. The artist gives the image of ideological sound. In his interpretation, the preacher calls for action. Dontsov's hand is clenched in a fist, and a sword is depicted on the epitrile instead of the cross.
