Serhii Yefremov: Epitome of the Ukrainian Revolution
Journal Title: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
Yefremov’s personal characteristics exemplify the characteristic features of the Ukrainian revolution. He was an argumentative, pugnacious man, and the revolution was characterized by infighting. He was an institution builder, and that’s a key element of the Ukrainian revolution. He was ideologically an advocate of Ukrainian identity (sooner than social rights or state building) and that too was a feature of the Ukrainian revolution. His diaries and ego writing offer a variety of evidence of these aspects of his personality.
