Abstract

The article highlights the role of Boris Hrinchenko in the events related to the construction and opening ceremony of the monument to Ivan Kotlyarevsky in Poltava on August 30-31, 1903 (old style). Until now, this episode of B. Hrinchenko’s biography has not been the subject of separate research interest. The authors’ methodological approach is the systematic and critical use of available sources, primarily the materials of the periodicals of that time and the ego-documents of the participants and contemporaries of the events (memoirs, epistolary, diaries, etc.). They contain the most factual information about B. Hrinchenko’s participation in the “festive of the Ukrainian intelligentsia” in Poltava (S. Efremov’s words), include reflections of participants and interested persons, and reproduce public and political responses to events. It was found out that B. Hrinchenko was the organizer and active participant of many events during the “Kotlyarevsky days” in Poltava in 1903. At the same time, along with examples of his organizational activities, the sources recorded episodes of his practical performances of public duties. It is shown that the cases of cooperation of B. Hrinchenko and other famous public and political actors of the older generation with representatives of the Ukrainian youth radical environment during the Poltava events proved the possibility of joint, coordinated actions against the government’s anti-Ukrainian measures. It is proved that the open protest of the Ukrainian intelligentsia at the meeting of the Poltava City Duma against the ban on the public use of the Ukrainian language with the participation of B. Hrinchenko demonstrated the national maturity of the Ukrainian intellectual forces. Together with other Ukrainian figures, B. Hrinchenko managed to make information about the Poltava events known in Ukraine and abroad through periodicals in Russia and Austria-Hungary.
