    Józef Chmielewski1876 Poltava

    Marie Bashkirtsef in Ukrainian traditional dress

    n 1876, after 10 years in Europe, 17-year-old Marie Bashkirtseff visited her homeland and relatives with great joy, remembering her childhood. She stayed in Havrontsi, Chernyakivtsi, and the estate of Prince Serhiy Kochubey, leader of the Poltava nobility, in Dykantsi. She tried on and described the national outfit: "Everyday Ukrainian clothes consist of a coarse cloth shirt with wide, rolled-up sleeves, embroidered in red and blue, and a black homemade cloth wrapped from the waist down. The shorter garment reveals the shirt's embroidered edge. The cloth is held by a multicolored wool belt, with necklaces around the neck and ribbons in braided hair. I had a suit made and wore it to the village, accompanied by our people." The photo was taken by famed photographer I. Khmelevskyi in Poltava.

    fragment of "Musical Grammar" by M. Dyletsky.A native of Kyiv, Mykola Dyletsky is called the creator of the Western school of partes music, which gave the world a number of outstanding composers. He wrote the theoretical work “Musical Grammar” — a monument of the Ukrainian Baroque — which was published exactly 350 years ago in Vilna (now Vilnius). In it, Dyletsky explained in detail the technical features of partes singing and composition. And what is important! In this work, he was the first in the world to describe the circle of fifths — as a graphic diagram by which a musician can trace the harmonic connections between all major and minor keys of 12 notes. For composers, this work made it easier to write music. This is really worth paying attention to… The work “The Resurrection Canon” by Mykola Dyletsky. Please listen.

    Living Echo of the Cossack Elite: Georgiy Narbut in Paraska Apostol’s Kontusz with Kelep and Colonel Miloradovych
    Living Echo of the Cossack Elite: Georgiy Narbut in Paraska Apostol’s Kontusz with Kelep and Colonel MiloradovychIn the photograph, Georgiy Narbut stands in the Cossack hall of the Tarnovsky Museum (now a room of the Chernihiv Regional Library for Youth), fully immersed in a historical Ukrainian image. He is dressed in the kontusz of Paraska Apostol, daughter of Hetman Danylo Apostol, holding a kelep in his right hand, while to his right stands Colonel Mykhailo “Cannon” Miloradovych. This staged yet documentary scene shows Narbut not just studying Cossack-era artifacts, but literally wearing them, turning himself into a living embodiment of the Ukrainian noble-Cossack past.
