The remains of prominent Ukrainian poet and writer Oleksandr Oles and his wife Vira Kandyba were reburied at Lukianivske cemetery in Kyiv on Jan. 29 after a sudden exhumation in Prague almost four weeks ago.

Oles (birth name Oleksandr Kandyba) was a highly-acclaimed Ukrainian writer and poet born near Sumy, Ukraine in 1878. He emigrated from Ukraine a few months after the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Despite living abroad, he continued to write about Ukraine until his death in Prague in 1944.
