It moved to Kyiv in 1935 and changed its name to Molodyi Bilshovyk (Молодий Більшовик; Young Bolsheviks) in 1937. In 1944 it received its current title Dnipro (Дніпро, English: Deep River).
In the 1960s, the magazine gained some notoriety for including literary works of Lina Kostenko, Ivan Drach, Borys Oliynyk, Ivan Svitlychnyi, Ivan Dzuba , Grygoriy Tyutyunnyk, Volodymyr Drosd – authors who suffered oppression and repression because of their beliefs yet remained faithful to their ideas.[citation needed]
