Abstract

The article analyses Marko Antonovych and Volodymyr Miyakovskyi’s scientifi c works, and personal, not intended for publication, unique and highly valuable documents — Diaries of student Mykhailo Hrushevskyi about his period of study in 1886–1894s at St. Volodymyr University, in the scientifi c community of which he had been formed as  a  highly talented scientist and researcher of  the past. It is emphasized that Mykhailo Hrushevskyi never mentioned that he kept a  diary during his study at  the gymnasium in  Tifl is and during his study at  St. Volodymyr University in  Kyiv. It is followed that diary entries of  Mykhailo Hrushevskyi were found by Leonid Zashkilnyak in  the Central State Historical Archive of  Ukraine in  Lviv by the  title “Diary of  an unknown author 1883–1893” in  the fund 401 of  a “Literary and Scientifi c Bulletin”. The diary entries were composed of  two signifi cantly diff erent parts. The fi rst part was a  diary of  sixth grade student of  the gymnasium in  Tifl is of  17-year-old Mykhailo Hrushevskyi in  1883–1884. Leonid Zashkilnyak published it in1993 in the journal “Kyivska Starovyna” with a foreword and comments. The second part was a university diary of student Hrushevskyi that covered his 1886–1894 Kyiv’s years of life and learning at St. Volodymyr University. Leonid Zashkilnyak published it  in  1997 with  a  foreword, a  streamlining, comments, and an  afterword. It is accentuated that the  diary entries of  Mykhailo Hrushevskyi allowed touching the  inner world of  the author and feeling his emotional state in specifi c periods of his life. Student Mykhailo Hrushevskyi wrote in the diary entries his innermost thoughts, which revealed his development as a young man and had his important personal information. The diary entries allow us to see the range of his communication and highlight some pages of  St. Volodymyr University history in  the late 80s  — at  beginning of  the 90s of  the 19th century. It is highlighted that the  period of  study on  the historical-philological faculty at  St. Volodymyr University in  Kyiv for  Mykhailo Hrushevskyi was a  time of  his formation as  a  person, a  future scientist, and a  public fi gure. It is investigated that Marko Antonovych traced the  period of  the early formation of  Mykhailo Hrushevskyi as a public fi gure during his student’s years under the leadership of Oleksandr Konyskyi who dedicated him a special attention since 1889 and highlighted him as the most talented among dozens of young people who passed his “school” of public activity in 1880–1890s. Marko Antonovych noted that Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Oleksandr Konyskyi worked for one Ukrainian idea and were tied with the All-Ukrainian development of the late 19th century, where they played a pivotal role. It is analyzed that Volodymyr Miyakovskyi, who researched biography and student years of Mykhailo Hrushevskyi, noted that all the university years of study Mykhailo Hrushevskyi used the scientifi c advice of professor Antonovych, listened to all his general and special courses, brilliantly graduated from St. Volodymyr University, and as the best student of the professor Antonovych passed the exams, defended his dissertation thesis and became a professor of Lviv University to head a Ukrainian historical science. It is indicated that Mykhailo Hrushevskyi did not mention with  warmth his Alma-mater and called eight years of study at St. Volodymyr University as sad times. However, it is proved that all his further life and scientifi c heritage were germinated just from the period of his study at St. Volodymyr University.
