... that Halyna Sevruk was expelled from the Union of Artists of Ukraine in 1968 due to a political letter she signed? Source: [1] "She signs the so-called “letter of 139” directed against restalinization in the country. [...] 'Due to this letter we, together with Alla Horska and Liuda Semykina were excluded from the Artists’ Union like criminals.'"
Overall: Interesting Ukrainian artist; I enjoyed reading about her. I like the hook. The context of the letter and the issues around it could be expanded but it reads fine as is. I shortened the sentence the hook refers to. The article had a LOT of close paraphrasing from the two sources cited, so I made changes to the text to try to address this. I also created some sections and an external link. I made a lot of changes, so someone else should probably review it again.

@GGT: Overall, it's OK. But I have added some tags that should be solved before approving it. (CC) Tbhotch™ 19:19, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
