Slovo Building (Ukrainian: Будинок «Слово») is a residential multi-story building located in the Shevchenkivskyi District of Kharkiv. The shape of the building reflects the letter C in the Ukrainian word слово ("slovo") which means "word". Therefore, the shape of the building symbolized that it was constructed specially for prominent Ukrainian writers, who lived there in a total of 66 apartments. Built in the late 1920s, it housed many Ukrainian writers and poets, some of whom, known as the Executed Renaissance, were later executed by the Soviet Union in Sandarmokh.
