Summary/Abstract: Modern Ukrainian musicology is characterized by high researchers’ interest to the period of the first quarter of the 20th century; and by the necessity to learn about unknown facts before, their generalization at the level of systematic theory of musical and historical process. This article is aimed at reconstructing and showing the personality and tragic fate of a composer, teacher and public figure M.G. Ivanov. He had been working in Katerynoslav (now Dnipro) from 1914 till 1919. The new archival materials’ research, the articles’analyses in literature magazines “Storm of Revolution”(1921), “Dawn”(1925) of the author and publicist V. Atamaniuk, who was persecuted during Stalin period (1897-1937 ) – all that above helped to present the personality of M.G.Ivanov. Some additional information from I.Mazepa’s memories is taken into account: “Ukraine In the Fire And Storm of 1917-1921 Revolution” as well as P.Fedenko memories: “Isaak Mazepa – the Fighter For Ukraine’s Freedom”, which in its turn characterizes the political and public situation in Katerynoslav. Thus, the personality and fate of M.G. Ivanov is presented as a constituent part of the problem “Uklrainian Idea – Ukrainian Issue – Ukrainian movement of the first quarter of the 20th century”. The research methodology lies in using retrospective principles, relying on sources, comparative analysis,discourse analysis of musico-historical process. Scientific novelty of the article lies in restoring the figure of one the representatives of Ukrainian Executed Renaissance into national historic musicology M.G. Ivanov. His musical and public activity, his creative legacy washighly appreciated by his contemporaries and like-minded people who were crossed out unfairly from the descendants’ memories during the years of “bourgeois Ukrainian nationalism” fight. The conclusions made give us a possibility to consider the personality of M.G. Ivanov in the row of the representatives of Ukrainian Executed Renaissance.
