This is an automatically translated description

The book is dedicated to the academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the USSR Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Slavic Philology, Professor Vladimir Nikolayevich Peretz (1870-1935) - a philologist, historian of literature, author of works on source studies, textology, paleography, folklore and theatre history. Academician Peretz was and remains a star of our literary studies, a luminary of the European level, comparable in brightness to Ivan Franko.
The author raises and tries to solve the question of why this Petersburger devoted his life to Ukrainian ancient literature and folklore, why he reached the world level of philological science in Kyiv, what he did for Ukraine and what Ukraine did not do for him. The book offers answers to the mysteries of the reasons for the arrest of the academician of two academies and his failure to fulfil his promise to write a history of Ukrainian literature. For readers who are not afraid to think about the book.
