The article provides a detailed examination of the figure of Oleksandr Konysky – an esteemed Ukrainian writer, researcher of Taras Shevchenko’s life and work, public figure, and active participant in the educational and social processes of the second half of the nineteenth century. It outlines the diversity of his literary legacy and the multifaceted nature of his activities under both his real name and numerous pseudonyms. Particular attention is paid to the role of travel in shaping his worldview, as well as his literary and historical explorations. The article highlights Konysky’s personal experiences of travelling across Ukraine, notably the Left Bank, Poltava region, the South, Crimea, and also his stays abroad – in Dresden, Leipzig, and Baden Baden. His travel writings are analysed, including observations on urban space, the state of education, enlightenment, issues of national identity, and the political and historical aspects of life in Ukrainian and European territories. The article demonstrates how, in his works, Konysky draws parallels between the situation of Ukrainians and other oppressed peoples, criticises imperial policy, and emphasises the importance of preserving and developing the native language and culture. The article is based on a wide range of literary sources, correspondence, and memoirs of contemporaries. O. Konyskyi’s travel notes form part of the Ukrainian-language travelogue genre, which emerged in the second half of the 19th century – a time when it became possible to write about everything in the Ukrainian language. Travels through Ukraine and Europe took on particular significance in Konyskyi’s work, shaping his worldview and the stylistic features of his writings. The writer’s travelogues are an important source for studying the social, educational, urban and ethnic processes in Ukrainian regions of the 19th century. O. Konyskyi’s travel notes reveal a critical attitude towards imperial policy, in particular towards the processes of Russification, the decline of Ukrainian identity in cities, and issues of education and enlightenment. He records in detail changes to the urban landscape, infrastructure challenges, the state of bookshops, and so on. O. Konysky pays particular attention to comparing the situation of Ukrainians with that of other peoples subjugated by the empire, notably the Crimean Tatars, highlighting the mechanisms of imperial discrimination, ethnic assimilation and economic ruin. His historical studies contain a profound analysis of the consequences of the Russian Empire’s policies on ethno-cultural processes in Crimea. The writer not only describes routes and technical innovations, but also raises issues of comfort, safety, pricing policies and quality of life at resorts, comparing Ukrainian and European realities. Through his travelogues, O. Konysky creates a unique guidebook for his compatriots
