Pavlo Zaitsev PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by GEORGE S.N. LUCKYJ Taras Shevchenko A LI FE PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by George S.N. Luckyj Taras Shevchenko is undoubtedly Ukraine's greatest literary genius and national hero. His extraordinary life-story is recounted in this classic work by Pavlo Zaitsev. Born in 1814, the son of a poor serf, Shevchenko succeeded in winning his freedom and became an art student in St Petersburg. In 1847 he was arrested for writing revolutionary poetry, forced into the army, and exiled to deserted outposts of the Russian empire to undergo an incredible odys­ sey of misery for ten years. Zaitsev's re­ counting of Shevchenko's ordeal is a moving portrait of a man able not only to survive extreme suffering but to transform it into poetry that articulated the aspirations of his enslaved nation. To this day Ukrainians observe a national day of mourning each year on the anniversary of Shevchenko's death. Zaitsev's biography has long been recog­ nized by scholars as defmitive. Originally written and typeset in the 1930s, the manuscript was confiscated fro m Zaitsev by Soviet authori- ties when they annexed Galicia in 1939. The author still had proofs, however, which he revised and published in Munich in 1955. George luckyj's translation, the first in English, now offers this indispensable biography to a new audience. CEORCE S . N. LUCKYJ is Professor Emeritus of Slavic Studies, University of Toronto. He is the author of Literary Politics in tire Soviet Ukraine and Between Gogol and Shevclre11ko, and editor of Shm:henko and the Critics. TARAS SHEVCHENKO: A LIFE l\ .

TARAS SHEVCHENKO Taras Shevchenko, the greatest poet of Ukraine, occupies a very special place in the hearts and minds of his fellow-countrymen. He is not only a great literary genius whose poetry possesses unsurpassed beauty but a national prophet who definitively expressed the quintessence of Ukraine's existence as a nation. In fact it may be said that he created modem Ukraine, for without Shevchenko it might still be what it had been earlier - Little Russia. The real meaning of this statement, which is a truism for Ukrainians, is revealed not only through the study of his poetry (most of it known by heart in his native country) but in the story of his life. The bare bones of his biography are also well known to the public. His deprived childhood and youth as a serf, his liberation from serfdom and his success as an art student in St Petersburg, the two extended journeys to Ukraine and the writing of revolutionary poetry, the arrest in 1847, the hardships of exile until 1857, and finally, the return to St Petersburg, the final trip to Ukraine, and his untimely death in Russia - all are familiar events in the life of a man who is regarded as a national martyr. Yet the full, detailed story of his life is little known. The exact unfolding of his life-story was not accomplished until Pavlo Zaitsev published his Life of Taras Shevchenko (Zhyttia Tarasa Shevchenka) in 1955. It might be appropriate to cast a quick look at the attempts to produce a biography of Shevchenko both before and after that date. No mention will be made of biographical fragments but only of complete biographies. The first attempt was made by Mykhailo Chaly, a man who knew Shevchenko personally. In 1882 he published The Life and Works of Taras Shevchenko (Zhizn i proizvedeniia Tarasa Shevchenko). Chaly, who spent twenty years writing his book, regarded it as merely a compilation of facts for the use of future biographers. Many important facts of the poet's life and many more of his poems, unpublished during the tsarist regime, were unknown to Chaly. The next important attempt to produce a comprehensive story of Shevchenko's life was made by the well-known writer Oleksander vm Introduction Konysky, who published Taras Shevchenko-Hrushiusky: The Chronicle of His Life (Taras Sheuchenko-Hrushiusky: Khroniko yoho zhyttia) in two parts in Lviv in 1898 and 1901. This extensive study goes well beyond being a simple collection of documents and attempts to interpret the development of the poet's outlook, based on his life-story. The revolution of 1917 gave fresh impetus to Shevchenko studies, primarily because a great deal of material relating to his life and work was published for the first time. Yet curiously enough, for decades no new biography of the poet was forthcoming. This was because the Soviet regime had great difficulty interpreting Shevchenko's life and work according to a new ideology. The so-called struggle for Shevchenko began, and lasted well into the late 1930s. Finally, Shevchenko's heritage was accepted as that of a 'revolutionary democrat' (following the 'Theses' issued by the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party in 1934), but there was still no new biography of him. The gains made by Shevchenko scholarship in the relatively liberal 1920s were wiped out, and yet no comprehensive new study of his life was produced. According to a Soviet source, 'The problem of a political biography and the outlook of Shevchenko became the centre of biographical studies:• It was outside the Soviet Ukraine, in western Ukraine and in Poland, that an attempt was made. The Ukrainian Scientific Institute in Warsaw began, in the mid-193os, to publish the collected works of Shevchenko in thirteen volumes under the editorship of Pavlo Zaitsev. The first volume of this edition was to be a new biography of the poet, written by Zaitsev. The volume was indeed finished and was in print when the Soviet Union annexed western Ukraine in 1939. The book never appeared, but the proofs were saved and the author was able to revise and publish it in Munich in 1955. This is the volume that has been edited and translated here. Its chief merit is that it was produced outside the sphere of Soviet political control by one of the most reputable Shevchenko scholars. Pavlo Zaitsev (1886-1965) was born in the district of Sumy in eastern Ukraine. During the brief period of Ukrainian independence in 1917- 18 he was an official in the m.inistry of education. He emigrated in 1921 and became a lecturer at Warsaw University and a member of the Ukrainian Scientific Institute in that city. He began his work as a scholar in the field of Shevchenko studies before the revolution, publishing valuable materials, until then unknown. From 1934 to 1939 he edited the thirteen-volume edition of Shevchenko's works and wrote a monograph on Shevchenko and the Poles. His major work was this biography of Schevchenko. • Shrn:htnkoznaustvo; pidsumky i problemy (Kiev 1975), 254 1x Introduction After the end of the Second World War it took a long time for Soviet Ukrainian scholarship to produce a comprehensive biography of Shev­ chenko. Some short biographical sketches appeared, and a great deal of valuable biographical research was published. Finally, Yevhen Kyryliuk published T.H. Shevchenko: Life and Work (T.H. Shevchenko: zhyttia i tvorchist) in 1959· The book was republished in 1964 and received a Lenin prize. In the same year a new, most comprehensive (633 pages) biography of the poet was published by a 'collective' of three scholars, Yevhen Kyryliuk, Yevhen Shabliovsky, and Vasyl Shubravsky - T.H. Shevchenko: A Biography (T.H. Shevchenko: Biohrafiia). It is the most up-to-date account ofShevchenko's life, with, needless to say, the required official emphasis.

  • Reconstructive Forgery: the Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus'
    Journal of Ukrainian Studies 35–36 (2010–2011) Reconstructive Forgery: The Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus' Serhii Plokhy Few events in Ukrainian and Polish history have provoked as many what-ifs as the agreement concluded between the Cossack hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and representa- tives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth near the city of Hadiach in the autumn of 1658. Long before the rise of virtual and counterfactual history, historians in Poland and Ukraine defied the maxim of positivist historiography—that history has no subjunctive mood—and plunged into speculation on how differently the history of both countries would have turned out if, instead of fighting prolonged and exhausting wars, Poland-Lithuania and the Hetmanate had reunited in a new and reformed Com- monwealth. Would this have stopped the decline of Poland, the ruin of Ukraine, Ottoman interventions, and the rise of Muscovy as the dominant force in the region? The Union of Hadiach, as the agreement became known in historiography, had the potential to influence all these processes. It envisioned the creation of a tripartite Commonwealth—the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and a Principality of Rus', with the Cossack hetman as its official head. The union was the culmination of the activities of moderate forces among the Polish and Ukrainian elites and the embodiment of the hopes and dreams of the Ruthenian (Ukrainian and Bela- rusian) nobility of the first half of the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, the com- promise that the union embodied was rejected by mainstream forces on both sides. The Commonwealth Diet ratified the text of the treaty with a number of important omis- sions, but even in that form it was viewed with suspicion and rejected by the Polish nobiliary elites, which could not reconcile themselves to the prospect of Orthodox Cossacks enjoying equal rights with Catholic nobles.
