The Slovo Building (Ukrainian: Будинок «Слово») is a residential, multi-story building in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kharkiv. The shape of the building reflects the letter C or S in the Ukrainian language, the first letter of слово ("slovo") or "word". The shape of the building symbolized its construction to house prominent Ukrainian writers, who lived there in over sixty apartments. Built in the late 1920s, it accommodated Ukrainian writers and poets, many of whom were later shot by the Communist authorities at Sandarmokh in Karelia. Today they are known as the "Executed Renaissance".
