description: "Viktor Platonovych Petrov was a prominent Ukrainian existentialist writer. Together with Valerian Pidmohylny, Petrov is considered to be the founder of the Ukrainian intellectual novel. Although Petrov is remembered as a writer today, during his life he was a scientist in the first place. He wrote papers on archaeology, anthropology, history, philosophy and literature. Despite having been implicated in co-operation with Soviet secret police later in his life, Petrov is simultaneously known as author of some of the most acute critical texts revealing the nature of the Soviet regime."
