The famous Ukrainian writer Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky (1838-1918), author of novels and stories from folk life, addresses the topic of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in his novel Clouds (1874). The title of the novel is symbolic, because clouds are a kind of personification of national oppression and suppression of Ukrainian culture. In this atmosphere of moral suffocation, the character of the main characters is formed. These are people of broad progressive views who, despite all the obstacles, raise waves of national consciousness of the people through their educational activities and dispel the "clouds", striving for light.
