The tank is a literary group of Ukrainian artists, founded in 1929 in Warsaw ( Poland ), as an offshoot of the Prague School of Poetry .
The founder, ideologue and leader of the group was Yuri Lipa ; among the members of Tank are Evgeny Malanyuk , Pavel Zaitsev , Abner Kolomiets , Yuri Kosach , Andrey Kryzhanovsky , Natalya Levitskaya-Kholodnaya , Elena Teliga, and others.
The group organized the Varyag publishing house and published the non-periodical literary magazine “We”.
Later the group “Tank” was transformed into the group “We” with the publication of a journal of the same name, which gave rise to a sharp controversy with D. Dontsov.
In 1933, the literary group "Tank" was renamed the publishing house "Varyag".
