Biography
He was born in Uman, Cherkasy region, in the Ukrainian SSR. Yevtushenko graduated from the Kyiv Art Institute in 1982. During the 1990s, he established independent Ukraine's first music publications, including the newspaper Audiotoloka and the magazine Halas.[1] In the early 2000s, Yevtushenko worked as a music critic for Ukraina magazine. During his career, he authored several books on the Ukrainian music scene.[2] He died in Kyiv due to complications from encephalopathy.[3]
Halas
Yevtushenko was the editor-in-chief of Halas (lit. 'Noise'), the first Ukrainian-language music magazine established in independent Ukraine.[4][5] Published between 1996 and 1998, the magazine released a total of 13 issues,[6] the earliest of which were printed in the Czech Republic. Yevtushenko wanted to introduce a Western-style musical reporting format, modeling his approach after British publications—specifically Q and Melody Maker. Funded by the Ukrainian software firm Quasar Micro, the magazine ceased operations in 1998 following financial hardship.[5]
