Life

Volodymyr Antonowytsch was born in Machniwka ( Махнівка ) in the north of today's Ukrainian Vinnytsia Oblast as the son of an impoverished Polish aristocratic family. From 1844 to 1848 he attended the Richelieu Lyceum and then to 1850 the 2nd Gymnasium in Odessa , whereupon he studied at the Medical Faculty of St. Vladimir University until 1855. Subsequent studies at the historical-philological faculty at the same university, he completed in 1860 as a candidate in historical philology. After receiving a master's degree in Russian history in 1870, he worked as a full-time assistant professor at the Institute of Russian History at St. Vladimir University.

Before the January uprising , he was one of the leaders of the Polish student movement at St. Vladimir University, but he spoke out against participating in the uprising and in 1862 officially broke with the Polish nobility and Polishism and became a representative of the Ukrainian national movement.

Antonowytsch was the editor-in-chief of the publications of the Kiev Archaeographic Commission, a patron and from 1881 head of the Historical Society of Nestor Chroniclers in Kiev and the organizer of archaeological conferences in Ukraine. Antonovytsch is an important representative of the populist school of Ukrainian historiography . He founded at the Kiev University called the Kiev school of historians , among other things, the students Dmytro Bahalij ( Дмитро Іванович Багалій ), Pyotr Golubowski ( Пётр Васильевич Голубовский ) mykhailo hrushevsky , Mytrofan Downar-Sapolskyj ( Митрофан Викторович Довнар-Запольский ) and Ivan Lynnytschenko ( Іван Андрійович Линниченко ) and laid the foundation for modern Ukrainian historiography.

Antonowytsch was married to Kateryna Antonowytsch-Melnyk ( Катерина Антонович-Мельник 1859-1942), who was also a historian and archaeologist. His son Dmytro Antonowytsch (1877-1945) was a Ukrainian art historian and minister.
