Mykhaylo Petrowytsch Drahomanov ( Ukrainian Михайло Петрович Драгоманов , Russian Михаил Петрович Драгоманов Mikhail Petrovich Dragomanow , even Michel Dragomanow * 6. September 1841 in Hadiach , Poltava Governorate , Russian Empire ; † 5. June 1895 in Sofia , Bulgarian Principality ) was a Ukrainian historian and political thinker.

Life

Mychajlo Drahomanow was the son of Petro Drahomanow and Jelysaweta Drahomanowa ( Єлизавета Драгоманова ), born Zjazka ( Цяцька ; 1821-1895) into a noble family of Cossack descent. He attended school in Hadjatsch between 1849 and 1853 and the high school in Poltava from 1853 to 1859 . Then he studied until 1863 at the St. Vladimir University in Kiev . From 1864 he worked as a private assistant professor and from 1873 as an assistant professor of ancient history at Kiev University. Since he had participated in the secret organization Hromada , which represented Ukrainian interests, he was forced to resign from his chair in 1875 as a “dangerous and radical separatist” on the personal orders of Emperor Alexander II . From 1876 to 1889 he lived in Geneva at 14 rue Dancet and published the Imprimerie Ukrainienne . In 1888 he became a professor of history at the University of Sofia . He died at the age of 53 in Sofia and was buried there in the Sofia Central Cemetery .

He wrote 69 publications, including 31 in Ukrainian, a language that was subject to a printing ban in the Russian Empire with the Ems Decree from 1876. In addition to his own treatises and his Rundschau Hromada , he published forbidden works of Ukrainian and Russian literature, including by Taras Shevchenko and Alexander Herzen .

Drahomanow is considered a cosmopolitan and socialist with a moderate anarchist tendency. He turned against both the political pressure and centralism of the Russian government and against the "chauvinism" and "Machiavellism" of the Russian revolutionaries. He strived for an autonomous Ukraine within the framework of a democratic Russian federation or a “voluntary alliance” based on the Swiss model.
