Shevchenko Khokhly Biography

Hundreds of Russian -speaking blogs and posts in social networks quote this poem, especially against the backdrop of an aggravated conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Bringing Shevchenko’s poem, the authors of the posts often refer to the same collection of his works: “The complete works of T. Shevchenko”, the year, the publication of L., turning to the pages with the content of this collection, it is easy to make sure that the poems “crests” are not in it.

This poem, allegedly written in the year, is not in the six -volume collection of Shevchenko’s works. In addition, Shevchenko was in exile in the Novopetrovsk fortification, where he was forbidden to write and draw as a decree of Emperor Nicholas I. Participants in this organization were interested in the development of Slavic nationalities, in particular Ukrainian, and were arrested in the year on charges of creating a political organization.

From the report of Count Alexei Orlov, the head of the third branch - the highest body of the political police of the Russian Empire - it is clear that Shevchenko was convicted of glorification of Ukraine and its people and “Ukrainophilism”: “Shevchenko composed poems in the Little Russian language of the most outrageous content. In them, he either expressed crying about the imaginary enslavement and disasters of Ukraine, then led about the glory of the hetman rule and the former freemen of the Cossacks, then with incredible insolence poured slander and bile on a person of the imperial house, forgetting their personal benefactors.

In addition to the fact that everything forbidden fascinates youth and people with a weak character, Shevchenko acquired a significant Little Russian writer between his friends, and therefore his poems are doubly harmful and dangerous.

With their favorite verses in Little Russia, thoughts about the imaginary bliss of the time of the hetman, about the happiness of returning these times and about the possibility of Ukrainian exist in the form of a separate state could be taken away and subsequently. ” According to the verdict of the third branch, Shevchenko was sent to soldiers to the Orenburg Corps, since the recruitment service was then a common punishment.

In addition to this, Shevchenko was forbidden to draw and write: “The artist Shevchenko for composing outrageous and highly daring poems, as gifted with a strong physique, to determine the ordinary in the Orenburg separate corps with the right to length of service, entrusting the authorities to have the strict observation, so that outrageous and unusual works could not be released from him.” In the full works of Shevchenko, a gap of a year is visible.

Either he really did not write poetry in exile, or these works have not survived to this day. From the letters of Shevchenko for that period it is clear that he was missing Ukraine and fellow countrymen. For example, in a year in a letter to the philologist and researcher of Little Russia, Osipa Bodyansky Shevchenko writes: “I thought, thought, and invented this: to have a little prisoner for the sake of and came to me the chronic chronicles or a great, great thank you.

Since the time of my exile, I have not read a single letter about our poor Little Russia, and what I knew about its past before, I quickly forget the little, and your gift will be a true joy for me. ” It is unlikely that a poet who describes his homeland with such warmth during a link would write an insulting poem about its people. Novopetrovsk fortification. The fact that Shevchenko’s poem is a fake indicates the confusion in versions of its origin.

The author of one of the earliest references to the poem first writes that it was written by Shevchenko in the year, that is, ten years after the death of the poet, and in the record made by the same user a year later - that in m. Some users jokingly claim that this poem was redone from Pushkin’s poem “Rusnya will remain Rusna”, probably to show how easy it is to rewrite this verse in order to denigrate any people.

Many are inclined to the fact that the unknown author took an excerpt from the work of Gabriel Derzhavin “nobles” for the year as the basis of the fakes: “The donkey will remain a donkey, although the scouring of it by stars; Where it should act with his mind, he only claps his ears. ” In the year, the intermediate version of Shevchenko’s poem appeared in the “Live magazine”, where in the lines of Derzhavin the word “donkey” was replaced by “crest”.

Many users and facts who refute Shevchenko’s authorship believe that the poem was written by the modern poet Alexander Noshchenko, who published it on the website “Poems. According to them, now the page is not available, the archived versions have not been preserved. As proof, users give Noshchenko’s words without specifying the source spelling and punctuation preserved: “To the issue of authorship; It was written as a cartoon - an angry joke, the time of writing - to g, published in G here on the site, because I myself have a chokhol, and during the information war, any material can be used as weapons.

I was asked to publish this verse repeatedly in a refutation of the fake walking already more than 2 years under authorship T.I am not at all ashamed of this evil cartoon, because it was an answer to the ardent Svidomites - nationalists who, after 6 years, with the support of the United States, came to power in our country and destroyed my beloved homeland, like a state.

” In the archival version of the list of Noshchenko’s poems, the work “Khokhly” is not listed for the year, and the subject of the author’s work in those days was completely different: religious and love lyrics. According to the “Internet Archive”, in April and in August, Noshchenko published poems with the heading “Khokhol will remain Khokhl, which were later deleted. In the year, he changed the user's name to Alex Nosenko and added an image with the text of the poem and the inscription over the portrait of Shevchenko “Fake Author Noshchenko” to his profile.

Now on the page of Alex Nosenko there is only a poem with the identical title, published on March 27, the text of which coincides with the widespread poem Shevchenko. Compare it with early versions on “Poems. In any case, whoever the author of this poem is, it can be confidently argued that Taras Shevchenko did not write these lines insulting to his people.
