My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, the Museum of Hetmanship in Kyiv. Focused on the history of Ukrainian Cossack statehood from the 17th to 18th centuries and the continued struggle for Ukrainian independence from 1917 to 1921. I will add a link to the Museum Portal that has a virtual tour of the museum. I also found a great article about Ukraine's Cossacks that I will also share a link to. With their heritage from these amazing warriors, the Zaporozhzhian Cossacks, nobody should be surprised by how strong a fighting spirit the modern Ukrainians have.

about gogol who you didn't know

a/n : hello my dear friends! today i would like to tell you more about our beloved Gogol.:) about his life, who he thought he was, his works and, most importantly, his name. have fun!

we all loves this eccentric guy who loves games and rhetorical questions. do you know everything about him? are you sure? what if i say no?

because at least his name isn’t “Nikolai Gogol”, but Mykola Hohol. why? because he, like his prototype, a real Hohol - a Ukrainian.

therefore, i’m here with you today to tell you a little true information about his life, because i from the same country as him - and yes, it’s Ukraine. not russia.

and if you really love this character, then you should have fun, so get ready for an intriguing story.

Hohol was born on 20 March (1 April), 1809 in the small town Velyki Sorochyntsi, Poltava province in Ukraine. and name at his birth was Mykola Vasylovych Yanovsky. only Mykola, not Nikolai, because Mykola is exactly Ukrainian name.

and he was born just in the heyday of the russian empire. expansion of the territory (capture of other states), strengthening of autocracy and serfdom (slavery) were the main trends that prevailed in the state life of Russia at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. Ukraine is one of those countries that are constantly suffering from Russia.

the main argument of those who consider Hohol a classic of russian literature is that he wrote in russian language and considered himself a "russian" (because the alternative pretty much didnt exist back the).

well, it’s not so. Hohol was dreamed of literary activity and ofc went to St. Petersburg. because during the time of the infamous russian empire, it was to St. Petersburg or Moscow that all figures, whether creative or scientific, were living in. if you didn’t study or work at least once in your life in Moscow or St. Petersburg then you didnt get a higher education and you were worthless. the russian empire stole (and is still stealing) the culture products of all the nations it has captured. (it's a french document, but you don't have to know french to understand the first line.)

yeah, he wrote in russian and worked in russia, but he applied for the position of professor of history at St. Volodymyr Kyiv University. he dreamed of returning to Kyiv and was friends with Mykhailo Maksymovych, an outstanding Ukrainian scientist and ethnographer.

Hohol wrote :

«I get excited in advance when I imagine how my labors will bloom in Kyiv. There, I will finish the history of Ukraine and the south of Russia and write a world history. And how many legends, beliefs and songs I will collect there! How interesting you can make university notes, how many details you can put in them, completely new about the region itself!»

«Drop the katsapiya (derogatory sign of russia), in fact, and go to the Hetmanship. I am thinking of doing the same thing and next year I’ll leave here. - We are really stupid, if you think carefully. For what and for whom we sacrifice everything. Let's go!…»

«Thank you for everything: for the letter, for the thoughts in it, for the news, etc. Imagine, I'm also thinking: There! There! To Kyiv! To ancient, beautiful Kyiv! He is ours, he is not theirs - isn’t that true? Our ancient affairs were done there or around it. I'm working, I'm trying with all my might, but I'm terrified: maybe I won't make it! Yes, it will be glorious if we occupy the Kyiv chairs with you: a lot of good can be done. But I'm worried that it won't happen. They say that a lot of Germans are assigned there. It's not very pleasant either. If only there were more Slavs for St. Volodymyr.»

"Do you know the Ukrainian night? Oh, you don't know the Ukrainian night! Take a closer look at it: the moon looks out from the middle of the sky. The boundless vault of heaven spread apart, expanded even more boundless. Divine night! Magical night!" (from the work "May night, or Drowned")

but why he wrote in russian if he is Ukrainian? the Ukrainian language was banned 134 times. one hundred thirty four times. prohibitions to write in Ukrainian, prohibitions to teach in Ukrainian, banning the name "Ukraine" as such, denial of the existence of the Ukrainian language in general, deportation and extermination of Ukrainian figures - this is the activity of the russian empire.

the linguicide of the Ukrainian language and the extermination of the Ukrainian elite is the foundation of the policy of the russian empire.

in those days, Ukraine suffered from the colonization, serfdom, the Ukrainian language was considered something dirty, and for speaking it people were persecuted. for speaking Ukrainian people were killed.

in order for you to be respected for some activity on par with the empire and to live peacefully - you had to speak russian and create everything in russian.

yes, Hohol dreamed too much of being a writer, so he bent under this system, he did not want to go against it, he chose the path of the carrot and stick. and at the peak of his fame he wrote that he had two souls «both Ukrainian and russian».

and yes, he wrote in russian. but in his works - Ukraine. Ukrainian welfare is in his works. all his notable works are about Ukraine.

«Evenings on a farm near Dykanka» - a collection of unique works about the Ukrainian village. works filled with fairy-tale events, fantastic stories and descriptions of customs, rites, daily life and outfits of the motley rural people.

«Taras Bulba» is a historical novel about the fate of the Cossack colonel Taras Bulba and his two sons. about the glorification of the Ukrainian Cossacks, glorification of the feat, patriotism, devotion to the idea of protecting the native land and love for the Motherland.

«Revisor» is the most popular play-comedy that was written about russians and for russians. in which he planned to mercilessly ridicule everything that happens in that society. but in "Revisor" they saw a classic "comedy of situations", the audience did not find satires on the russian government and provincial secular society.

in all his popular works one could feel an excessive attachment to Ukraine and Ukrainians, and he portrayed russians in a bad light. and those works where he tried to glorify russia - for some reason did not gain such popularity or were never published at all. and for that were making fun of him, in russia.

i know that we are more used to seeing Nikolai Gogol, that's how ya’ll write everywhere! but this is wrong. russia ruined Hohol’s life, and he hated russia for it, and now, because of russian propaganda, we continue to despise him as a person and a character.

saying that Mykola Hohol, both real and character, is a russian is cultural appropriation. because the extraordinary and extravagant Hohol-terrorist bears the name of our Ukrainian writer who loved his Motherland and was proud to be Ukrainian. But russia spoiled everything by stealing this Motherland from him, the opportunity to return to it, to freely call himself Ukrainian and write in Ukrainian. “Nikolai Gogol” is russian propaganda that has been going on for centuries.

and if you want to divide Hohol into a character and a real person, then why is this not done with other characters? Fyodor is russian, his name is spelled correctly, foreign writers also have no problems with names! do you understand? you cannot divide him into a "character" and a "real person", because the character was created only thanks to the existence of the Ukrainian Mykola Hohol, a writer who had to write in russian language because of his boundless love of writing and the cruelty of the russian empire.

and note that he named his characters after real writers and added their works. and remember that the personalities of the characters are built on the writers, character Hohol = writer Hohol. by not showing enough respect to the writers - you are also not showing enough respect to the characters.

russia has always tried to appropriate the products of Ukrainian creativity, twisting the whole meaning a hundred times. russia has always denied Ukrainian national identity and tried to suppress any opposition. and that’s why we, Ukrainian’s, are angry about it, especially now.

therefore now it is very important to show him as a Ukrainian, even if it is not usual.

so, his name is Mykola Hohol, not Nikolai Gogol. and he’s Ukrainian.

a/n : well, that's it. thank you for reading this to the end. your support in this is very important right now, so i hope my efforts have made you think. please spread this, if u love and respect this character, and even more so, once a living person! we need people to know the truth and respect both, the original Hohol and the character in the anime.

also ask u to remember: don’t trust Wiki or other third-party sites, which are not written by historians, but by uneducated people who can write any lie they want.;)
