edit data

Poet and playwright; the ‘founder’ of modern Ukrainian literature. After studying at the Poltava Theological Seminary (1780–9), he worked as a tutor at rural gentry estates, where he became acquainted with folk life and the peasant vernacular, and then served in the Russian army (1796–1808). In 1810 he became the trustee of an institution for the education of children of impoverished nobles. In 1812 he organized a Cossack cavalry regiment to fight Napoleon Bonaparte and served in it as a major (see Ukrainian regiments in 1812). He helped stage theatrical productions at the Poltava governor-general's residence and was the artistic director of the Poltava Free Theater (1812–21). From 1827 to 1835 he directed several philanthropic agencies.

“Любов к Отчизні де героїть,
Там сила вража не устоїть,
Там грудь сильніша од гармат.”

“Коли чого в руках не маєш,
То не хвалися, що твоє;
Що буде, ти того не знаєш,
Утратиш, може, і своє.
Не розглядівши, кажуть, броду,
Не лізь прожогом перший
воду,
Бо щоб не насмішив людей.
І перше в волок подивися,
Тогді і рибою хвалися;
Бо будеш йолоп, дуралей.”
― Ivan Kotliarevsky, Енеїда
