Remember this every time you open a volume of "great russian literature." Because while you are reading russian literature - russians are throwing away and destroying ukrainian literature.

Lesya Ukrainka's collection in this pile just kills me.☠️😭

p.s. to all the offended children who can't live without russians and their spoiled literature, like yesterday's cabbage soup, ventilate your rooms, go out, stroke the grass and read something else, not what you were taught at school. FUCK OFF!

Lesya Ukrainka (February 25, 1871 – August 1, 1913) poet, dramatist, short-story writer, essayist, and critic and a leading figure in its modernist movement. She also was a political, civil, and feminist activist.

In 1892, she wrote "Predawn Light", which contains this beautiful turn of phrase (as translated):

"Triumphant and solemn, the flush of predawn light

Has pierced through the gloom of the night,

Still asleep are the rays of the sun -

Though the predawn light burns on,

A torch that the workers ignite...

Arise, all the living who think of rebellion!

The hour has come and work to be done!

Fear not the predawn gloom of night -

But kindle the flame of predawn light

Long before the dawn sees the risen sun!"

Lesya Ukrainka (25 February1871), born Larysa Petrivna Kosach, was one of Ukrainian literature's foremost writers, best known for her poems and plays. She was also an active political, civil, and feminist activist.

“I've never loved? Nay, it is you who have

Forgotten now what real love ought to be.

Real love is like the water, rushing swift,

Which sports, caresses, draws one on, then drowns.

Where it strikes heat, it seethes; where it meets cold,

It turns dead, like a stone. So is my love!

But that of yours is like the brittle straw,

A puny child. It bends before the wind.

It cracks beneath the feet. It meets a spark

And flares without resistance, after which

There's nothing left but cinders and dead ash.

If it's despised, it lies and putrifies

Like unused straw that's in the water thrown —

The water of vain self-reproach, or else

Turns mouldy 'neath cold rains of penitence.”

Lesia Ukrainka, The Forest Song

They staged Lesya Ukrainka's Cassandra in the UK. And there is going to be a live stream 23rd to 26th March 2023 (link in the publication). The translation is Nina Murray's one, published a few months ago.

Since some of you showed interest to my post about memory and imperialism in Lesya's Cassandra - you may want to check this out.

This is a colourization I did of Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka. She was born Larysa Petrivna Kosach in 1871 to Olena and Petro Kosach. Her mother was also a author of children's poems and short stories. When Lesya was born the Ukraine was part of the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Ukrainian language was discouraged. However her family was very proud of the Ukrainian language and taught their children in Ukrainian. Her aunt was exiled from the Russian Empire because she partook in anti-Tsarist activities. Lesya contracted tuberculosis at age 13 and suffered complication the rest of her life because of it. She married Klyment Vasilyovich Kvitka in 1907. A few years later she passed away. I got the original b+w photo from Wikimedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%9B%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%8F_%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%97%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0.1888.jpg I also used the Wikipedia article about her to write my summary about her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesya_Ukrainka

Quote

Word, why aren’t you a solid scream, That shines bright in the midst of the battle? Why aren’t you a sharp, ruthless sword, Which will sever my enemy’s head at the shoulders?
