Biography[edit]

Charnetskyi was born 21 January 1881 in Shmankivtsi, Austria-Hungary (now in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine). He was the thirteenth child in a priest family. His father was Greek Catholic priest Mykola Charnetskyi, who died of typhoid soon after his birth. His mother was Vladyslava Eckhardt-Charnetska.[2]

He went to school in Stanyslaviv and then studied in Lviv's Tsisars-Royal Technical Academy (now Lviv Polytechnic National University). He then worked in Lviv as an engineer. During World War I, he was the Assistant Chief of the railway station No. 5 Lviv-Stryi, Lviv-Sambir.

He was one of the group of modernist writers in Austrian Ukraine known as the Moloda Muza (the Young Muse)[3] that emerged in 1906, alongside Volodymyr Birchak, Mykhailo Yatskiv, Petro Karmanskyi, Ostap Lutskyi, Vasyl Pachovskyi, Osyp Turianskiy and Sydir Tverdokhlib.[4]

He was the editor of the magazines Ukrainian Voice (1915) and Ukrainian Herald. He was the artistic director of the Ruska Besida Theatre (spring 1913-August 1914) in Lviv.[5]

He married Iryna Popovachak-Charnetska and they had two daughters, Olesia and Oleksandra.[2]

Works[edit]

He wrote the patriotic anthem to the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen entitled "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow" (Ukrainian: Ой у лузі червона калина) (1913).[3] Pink Floyd recorded a version of the song in 2022 as "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!".[6]

His collections of poems included "В годині сумерку" (1908), "В годині задуми" (1917) and "Сумні ідем" (1920).[7] He also wrote about the theatre, including the book "An Essay on the History of the Ukrainian Theater in Galicia" (1934).[8]

In 1936, he co-wrote lyrics for the song "There Will Come Another Time [uk]" (Ukrainian: Прийде ще час) with Bohdan Vesolovskyi, who had previously composed the music.[9]

He translated Adam Mickiewicz's 1828 narrative poem "Konrad Wallenrod" from the original Polish into Ukrainian. Some of Charnetskyi's own poetry was translated into Polish by Tverdokhlib.
