This is an automatically translated description

Volodymyr Shukhevych (1849-1915) was a prominent Ukrainian ethnographer, folklorist, publicist, teacher, cultural, educational, and public figure, a full member of the Taras Shevchenko Scientific Society, and the grandfather of the UPA commander-in-chief, General Roman Shukhevych.

The greatest result of his many years of ethnographic work was the five-volume monograph Hutsulshchyna, dedicated to the study of the material and spiritual culture of the Galician Hutsuls, published in 1899-1908 by the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv and printed in four volumes. "Hutsulshchyna was highly praised by domestic and foreign figures of science and culture, and Ivan Franko noted that the value of Shukhevych's work is best evidenced by the fact that it was translated into Polish in the manuscript.

The fifth volume contains folk riddles, proverbs, legends, Hutsul beliefs about plants and animals, materials about folk medicine, and a glossary of obscure terms with explanations for all volumes of Hutsulshchyna.
