Oleksandr Yevtushenko
Ukrainian journalist
Oleksandr Mykolaiovych Yevtushenko (27 September 1957 – 23 December 2020) was a Ukrainian music journalist.
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. 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. He died in Kyiv due to complications from encephalopathy.
Halas
Yevtushenko was the editor-in-chief of Halas (lit. 'Noise'), the first Ukrainian-language music magazine established in independent Ukraine. Published between 1996 and 1998, the magazine released a total of 13 issues, 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Oleksandr Yevtushenko” as ukrainian journalist. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as ukrainian journalist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104461959. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957, 2020, 1982 and 1996.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
