Life

Hanna Barwinok with her husband Pantelejmon Kulisch 1877

Hanna Barwinok was born as Oleksandra Mychajliwna Biloserska in Motronivka Manor, now part of the village of Oleniwka ( Оленівка ), near the town of Borsna in the Ukrainian Oblast of Chernihiv . She was the daughter of the landlord and the younger sister of the activist, journalist and educator Vasyl Bilozerskyj . At home and in the village of Kropyvne ( Кропивне ) near Konotop in the Poltava governorate , she received private lessons.

On January 22, 1847, at the age of 18, she married her brother Vasyl Biloserskyj's boyfriend, Pantelejmon Kulisch, 9 years her senior. A best man of the wedding was the friend of the Taras Shevchenko family .

After her husband was arrested as a member of the " Cyril and Methodist Brotherhood " during their honeymoon in Warsaw and was finally exiled to Tula , she followed him into exile. From 1854 she lived in Saint Petersburg, and in 1883 she settled in Motronivka. After her husband's death in 1897, she devoted the rest of her life to her husband's literary and creative legacy and to the creation of his museum, for which she even sold the manor house in Motronivka and lived the last years of her life in poor conditions. She died in Motronivka in 1911 at the age of 83 and was buried next to her husband at her parents' house.

From 1858 Hanna Barwinok wrote stories on topics from rural life, concentrating on the fate of the peasant women. Her prose dealt with family and painful relationships, often also with the tragic fate of the peasant women due to family hardship and other adverse circumstances. Some stories are steeped in sentimentality and the idealization of social village relationships in the second half of the 19th century. She was a master of lyrical storytelling, so that even Ivan Franko praised her “heartfelt stories” and Serhiy Yefremov called her “a poet of the grief and misery of women”. She also wrote memoirs about Taras Shevchenko.

Her stories have been published in the Almanac Khata in Saint Petersburg and in the newspapers Pravda ( Lviv ), Osnova (Saint Petersburg) and Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk (Lviv), among others . Her works have been published in the collections Opovidannia z narodnykh usst (in German: Tales of the People , 1902), Opovidannia (in German: Tales , 1919) and Vybrani tvory (in German: Selected works , 1927). Her handwritten legacy is kept at the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and at the Chernihiv Museum of Literature and Memorial of Mychajlo Kozjubynskyj .
