Alla Horska

Alla Horska was a prominent Ukrainian artist and activist known for her monumental mosaics and dedication to preserving Ukrainian cultural heritage. Born in 1929, she became a significant figure in the Ukrainian art scene during the Soviet era, creating notable works such as the mosaic 'Bird' in Helmyaziv. Tragically, her life was cut short in 1970 under mysterious circumstances, later revealed to be linked to Soviet authorities, highlighting the risks faced by artists who challenged the regime. Horska's legacy endures through her art and the ongoing efforts to protect her remaining works.
