He Died Twice: The Scholar Who Refused to Betray Anyone
In this episode, we follow the life and choices of Mykhailo Drai-Khmara, a linguist and poet at the center of Ukraine’s literary renaissance, as pressure from state agents closes in. What does it take to keep refusing when refusal costs you everything and compliance costs almost nothing?

Date of birth: October 10, 1889
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
Event: Arrest and NKVD interrogation, March 1933

- A polyglot scholar who knew nineteen languages and shaped his own surname from Drai to Drai-Khmara as an act of authorship.
- A central figure in the Kyiv Neoclassicists who taught, led a Slavic department, and collaborated on a scientific Ukrainian language.
