Our party decided to make the "People" its body, decided and help its work and money. With the work, the deal somehow settled down, but with money still bad. (Oct 17, 1890, to M.P. Dragomanov)

New article on history of literature
In the section "History of literature" published article "Did T. Shevchenko really write the poem "To Slavs"?" (1897).
But having read the poem itself, for everyone familiar with the spirit of Shevchenko’s poetry, with its language and poetic technique, it will immediately become clear that in no way can this poem be considered the work of Shevchenko.
New fairy tales
In the section "Prose" we continue publishing the fairy tale cycle "When beasts spoke" (1896 – 1898). Today – next 5 tales, including "13. Vixen-nun".
And when it is good, – said Vixen, – why should you look for a priest? After all, I’m a nun, a spiritual person is the same as a priest. Just follow me one by one in this hole, I confess you.
