Encyclopedic overview
Alla Oleksandrivna Horska (Ukrainian: Алла Олександрівна Горська; 18 September 1929 – 28 November 1970) was a Ukrainian artist and Soviet dissident who was associated with the Ukrainian underground and Sixtier movements during the 1960s. She was murdered in 1970; the official investigation reported at the time that she had been killed by her father-in-law, though Soviet archives have since revealed evidence suggesting the possible involvement of the KGB.
