Less than two years later , the German army invaded Ukraine again , and Lviv fell under Nazi occupation by July 1941 . This time , it was the Wehrmacht that took over two floors of the Krushelnytska residence , forcing all occupants to either move out or move in together on the upper floors . Solomiya would survive the years of ethnic cleansing her city would endure , until the return of Soviet troops in 1944 would transition her into the final stage of her life , as an artist trapped behind the Iron curtain . The formerly world-renowned artist began giving voice lessons and would return to her alma mater , the Lviv Conservatory , as a professor . In 1951 , she was recognized as a Merited Artist of Ukraine . Solomiya Krushelnytska died on November 16 , 1952 , and was subsequently buried at Lviv 's Lychakiv Cemetery , across from the gravesite of her friend , Ivan Franko
