The Cathedral (Honchar novel)

The Cathedral (Ukrainian: Собор) is a 1968 novel by Oles Honchar. It was Honchar's best known novel but also saw him come under censure by the Brezhnev regime. The book was initially well received and massively popular among students. After sudden criticism of the novel, a group of literature students organized a defense of the novel, leading to surveillance and reprisals from the KGB.^[1] A planned translation to Russian was halted and the Ukrainian edition withdrawn. The titular cathedral was based on the story of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Samar, Ukraine.^[2] The Russian translation was published in Roman-Gazeta issue 7, 1987.
