About the author
Taras Shevchenko is undoubtedly the most prominent figure in the history of Ukrainian culture. The poet was born on March 9, 1814 in the village of Moryntsy, Kyiv province, into a serf family. Taras's grandfathers and great-grandfathers were Cossacks and took an active part in the liberation wars. Grandfather Ivan had a special influence on the future author of "Kobzar". At one time, he participated in the Koliiv region and told his grandson many details about this uprising.
