Nova Generatsiia

The goal of Nova Generatsiia was to promote avant-garde art to the general public of Ukraine. Although Nova Generatsiia was mostly an outlet for the literary works of the futurists (the majority works featured were poetry or prose), the magazine also placed a special emphasis on architecture, design, and city planning, following European and especially German developments in these areas very closely.^[2]

Ukrainian Futurism in general and Nova Generatsiia in particular were often criticized^{[by whom?]} for their leftist politics, which were very clear in the magazine. The magazine was especially maligned by contemporaries, but was later recognized^{[by whom?]} for its role in establishing Ukrainian art as an independent and modern institution^{[citation needed]}. Additionally, the magazine has been praised^{[by whom?]} for being the last in Ukraine to give in to the demands of the Communist Party when it sought to neuter and homogenize art and cultural activities in the latter half of the 1920s.^[2]
