Dniprova Chayka was the pen name of Liudmyla Vasylevska (October 20, 1861 – March 13, 1927), a Ukrainian educator and writer.〔 The daughter of a Russian village priest and a Ukrainian mother, she was born Liudmyla Berezyna in Karlivka〔 in the southern Ukraine and was educated at a private gymnasium in Odessa. She worked as a private tutor and then taught in a village school and later high school. She compiled Ukrainian folk songs and oral tradition. In 1885, she married Teofan Vasylevsky, a Ukrainian historian and patriot. Because Ukrainian nationalist was suppressed within the Russian empire, the couple often found themselves under police surveillance and, in 1905, Vasylevska's writings were confiscated.〔 Her first poems and short stories were published in journals in the Ukraine. She also wrote poems and fairy tales for children and the librettos for a number of children's operettas; the scores were written by Mykola Lysenko. Berezyna also wrote poetry in Russian and translated Swedish and Russian literature into Ukrainian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dniprova Chayka (1861-1927) )〕 She and her husband separated after their children were grown up.〔 Vasylevska died in Hermanivka at the age of 65.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dniprova Chaika )〕 A collection of her works was published in 1929 and another in 1931.〔 Her work was translated to English for the collection ''In the Dark of the Night'' (1998).〔 A commemorative coin bearing her image was released into circulation in the Ukraine in 2011, the 150th anniversary of her birth. It was part of a series called "Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dniprova Chaika )〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dniprova Chayka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
