National Union of Composers of Ukraine

The organization's precursor started as the All-Ukrainian Music Society (named after Mykola Leontovych), established in 1922.

The sphere of influence of the top management included, among other things, such functions as the distribution of material goods, recommendations for new works to be performed and further propaganda.

It is clear that the works of secretaries were given priority in the execution of government orders, in the formation of concert programs.

After the Revolution of Dignity, in contrast to the expectations of the artistic elite, the living conditions of Union members have only become more complicated.

Appeals have been made to the government over increasing costs due to utility and land fees which endanger the existence of creative unions.
