This is an automatically translated description

The book presents a popular scientific biography of the famous historian Mikoly Ivanovich Kostomarov (1817–1885).

The colourful life history of the iconic intellectual-romantic of the XIX century is full of dramatic and contrasting turns of duty. Illegitimate, the son of a lodger and his companion. The author of the magisterial dissertation, burned by order of the Imperial Ministry. One of the founders of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood. He was a member of the Oleksiyivskyi Ravelin of the Metropavlovsk Fortress, a political envoy in Saratov. Hero of an extraordinary love story with his former pupil Alina Krahelska. A brilliant professor at the university in the capital. He is a passionate theatre-goer, a wonderful comunicator and at times an unrelenting divak-original in every day life. Historian-artist, creator of historical works, which are read as exciting novels. A ruthless destroyer of the Russian pantheon of historical heroes. Unforgettable tutor of the Ukrainian society of the XIX century and the founder of its cultural and educational programme.
