Mykhailo Drahomanov

Mychajlo Drahomanow (also Michel Dragomanow ) ( born September 6, 1841 in Hadjatsch; † 5 June 1895 in Sofia) was a Ukrainian historian and political thinker.

His father was Petro Drahomanow. An uncle was Yakov Akimovich Dragomanow.

Mychajlo Drahomanow taught at the University of Kiev. Since he had been involved in the secret organization Hromada that represented Ukrainian issues, he was forced to resign in 1875 by his Department. 1876-1889 he lived in Geneva, Rue Dancet 14 and gave up the Imprimerie Ukrainienne. In 1888, he was Professor of History in Sofia.

He has authored 69 publications, of which 31 are in Ukrainian, a language with the Ems Decree from 1876 subject to a pressure ban in the Tsarist Empire. In addition to his own treatises and Rundschau Hromada he published forbidden works of Ukrainian and Russian literature, including of Taras Shevchenko and Alexander Ivanovich heart.

He is regarded as a cosmopolitan and moderate socialist anarchist direction. He turned both to the political pressure and centralization of the Russian government and against the " chauvinism " and " Machiavellianism " of the Russian revolutionaries. He strove for an independent Ukraine in the framework of a democratic Russian Federation or the "voluntary covenant" on the Swiss model.
