This book is a new source for the history of the national revival of Ukrainian people at the beginning of the 20th century. The Ukrainian man that from Peter the Great, through Catherine, Nicholas I, the decree of Valuev was nationally suppressed, oppressed, she yielded, sometimes with great effort, uncertainly, or even with fear squeezed out the national consciousness, opened her national face, her "I." Here, it is this development, this process that we see, reading these precious materials in this book, which were left by our plowmen, who plowed that siege of the soul of a Ukrainian person.
