This is my own scans

Isaak Berkovich (1902-1972) (Actually 26 preludes)

Nikolai Silvansky (1916-1985)

I will certainly have a look at them. Meanwhile I have set up a new Ukraine playlist on my YT channel, which has the pieces by Ukrainian composers that I have recorded in the past, plus new recordings of pieces by Joteyko, Zawadski and (upcoming) Prisovsky. The last named was apparently once very popular in Ukraine, and he still has fans there. I find his music very generic, but if it strikes a chord today with his hard-pressed countrymen, it is worth playing.

Consider also Kosenko (especially his etudes), Shamo, Valentine Zhubinskaya, and some of the Ukrainian emigres like Dmitri Tiomkin.

Igor Shamo wrote the song My Kyiv, which was chosen as the official anthem of the city of Kyiv/Kiev in 2014

Here are some Ukrainian publications (both from the Kyiv state publishing house in the Soviet era) that I scanned/posted a while back.

If it's not yet been recommended, the Youtube channel 'fortis anima' is a treasure trove of Ukrainian classical music:

Berkovich's Sonatina No.4 from 1970. Please inform, if it has been posted before. I couldn't find.
