The book of the famous researcher of the Ukrainian national revival of the XIX century. Mykhailo Tershakivets is devoted to the analysis of the life and spiritual and intellectual heritage of the leader of the "Russian Trinity" Fr. Markiyan Shashkevych, as well as the activities of his associates and opponents: both predecessors and contemporaries and successors. This work was conceived as a magnum opus - the result of studies that Tershakovets began in Galicia under Austrian rule and continued to emigrate to the United States until his death in 1978. Based on a solid source and historiographical basis, the author scrupulously reproduces the genesis of his ideas Markian environment, shows the obstacles that the Galician awakeners had to overcome, finds out the factors that contributed to their success, traces the multifaceted influences of the generation of the "Russian Trinity" on the cultural and socio-political life of Galicia. With a phenomenal memory and encyclopedic knowledge, he organically incorporates into his presentation a huge amount of contextual factual material: biographical data, information about relations between individual figures, cultural interactions between the peoples of the Habsburg monarchy, and so on. This publication is a tribute to the memory of those scholars who, despite the difficult circumstances of emigration, have preserved to this day the continuity of the best traditions of the pre-war Galician humanities.
