The Kropyvnytskyi archive is a private collection of documents related to the activities of the Kyiv Art Institute in the second half of the 1920s. The institute's rector, Ivan Vrona, appointed Marian Kropyvnytskyi an assistant for the research office of the experimental visual arts, headed by the avant-garde painter Kazimir Malevich. Kropyvnytskyi served as Malevich's personal assistant in 1928-1930. The archive contains minutes of meetings, Kropyvnytskyi's notes of Malevich's lectures, and copies of Malevich's unpublished lectures. Since the archive of the Institute was destroyed, the Kropyvnytskyi collection is probably the only collection that contains documents about the Institute's history in the interwar period.

The collection contains illegal recordings of original and cover versions of spirituals, gospel music and other songs circulated as part of the underground Christian movement in various religious denominations of the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church and the Baptist Church. They reinvigorated the activities of the Blue Cross movement in Switzerland and of the Association of Christians in Prague. The albums were secretly recorded and distributed to the youth on cassettes (currently on CDs) and represented an opposition against the “conscious atheist socialist man”.
