Taras Shevchenko

Many Ukrainians see Taras Shevchenko as an embodiment of Ukraine’s independence and freedom, whose words gave strong impetus to the revival of the entire nation.

Shevchenko established the status of the Ukrainian language as a literary language, on a par with other European languages.

Shevchenko was a prominent figure of his time, who made the rapid development of Ukrainian literature possible.

Thanks to his extraordinary abilities and broad-ranging interests, Shevchenko has gone down in Ukrainian culture as an artist of unequalled talent.

Today, Ukraine’s largest university and a number of settlements bear his name, and Shevchenko streets can be found in every Ukrainian city and town.



Love your dear Ukraine, adore her,
Love her... in fierce time of evil,
In the last dread hour of struggle
Fervently beseech God for her.
