The cooperation between a prominent Ukrainian scientist, writer, publicist, publisher Oleksandr Lototsky and prominent Ukrainian writer, educator, lexicographer, literary critic Borys Grinchenko have been analysed in this article. The epistolary of Oleksandr Lototsky’s , heritage located in the fund of the Institute of Manuscripts of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine was used as a background for the study by the author. The study of Оleksandr Lototsky’s correspondence with Borys Grinchenko enables to determine that their active cooperation began in 1894 and was aimed, first of all, at the distribution of Ukrainian printed products, that had been published by Borys Grinchenko in Chernihiv. In the article for the first time it is pointed out on to the archival materials that revealed detailed information of Grinchenko books distribution in Kyiv and showed the difficulties of their sale in the bookstores. It is revealed that the further sale of books published in Chernihiv by Borys Grinchenko was made by Musiy Kononenko under the patronage of Oleksandr Lototsky. The cooperation of the writers in the publication of the collection «Vik», in which Grinchenko, who sent his works for publication, was involved, is enlightened in the article. The content of Grinchenko works published in the collection are discussed by the writers. In particular, the format of the collection «Vik» (photos, biographies, types of paper, printing), as well as payment and forwarding it to Chernihiv city, were subject for the discussion with Oleksandr Lototsky, who was true adviser for Borys Grinchenko. In this respect it has to be emphasised that the selfless and painstaking work of Oleksandr Lototsky with an aim of gathering materials to the collection «Vik», often in spite of adverse circumstances (censorship and prohibitions) formed the basis of a national culture. New names and information about important historical events have been brought to the scientific circle, some facts about the history of book publishing in Ukraine have been clarified, cultural and publishing relations of Ukrainian leaders have been revealed. Important information has been found, which opens new perspectives for further in-depth analysis of their lives and literary activities, tearing back the curtain and revealing the difficulties of the historical environment of those times. It is found out that relations of both cultural leaders behind the cooperation in the literary and publishing areas during the 1894–1900 years were attentive and friendly despite the various “inconveniences” that arose from time to time.

МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ. ІСТОРІОГРАФІЯ. ДЖЕРЕЛОЗНАВСТВОАнотація. У сучасній історичній науці зростає потреба нового бачення минулого, в якому йдеться не тільки про «зовнішню» історію важливих процесів та явищ, а й про «внутрішню»суб'єктів, «людську» історію. Джерела особового походження родини Грінченків дозволяють глибше зрозуміти причини та особливості включення видатних персоналій у боротьбу за права жіноцтва в кінці ХІХ -на початку ХХ ст. Мета дослідження полягає у визначенні ролі впливових інтеліґентських родин Наддніпрянської України у процесах формування нової ґендерної парадигми в українських землях наприкінці ХІХ -на початку ХХ ст. на основі еґодокументів Бориса, Марії та Анастасії Грінченків. Методологія базується на деконструкції текстів еґодокументів та індивідуальнобіографічному й суб'єктнодіяльнісному підходах, які дозволяють окреслити роль конкретних особистостей у становленні жіночого питання в Наддніпрянській (підросійській) і Західній (підавстрійській) Україні в обраний період. Наукова новизна полягає в комплексному дослідженні еґодокументів, що дало змогу деталізувати особливості становища жіноцтва та розгортання руху за ґендерну рівність, які важко цілісно охарактеризувати винятково на основі залучення масових документальних джерел. Висновки. Впродовж окресленого хронологічного періоду українське суспільство продовжувало зберігати Юрій БЕЗЗУБ старший викладач, кафедра історичної та громадянської освіти, Київський університет ім. Б.Грінченка (Київ, Україна),

The article, based on extensive involvement of archival documentary, epistolary and memoir sources, analyzes individual pages of the life and activities of Anastasia (Nastya) Grinchenko, the only daughter of Ukrainian writers and public figures Borys and Maria Grinchenko, in her last years. Based on family correspondence and memories of members of the Grinchenko family, letters of N. Sakharova (M. Sakharov's mother) to A. Grinchenko, as well as memoirs of the participants and participants of the "The Lubny self-defense", the events related to the trial in the case of self-defense, the participants were investigated which was A. Grinchenko and M. Sakharov. The moral and psychological atmosphere in the Grinchenko family in 1907-1909, which developed in connection with the daughter's arrest, house searches, M. Grinchenko's illness, Anastasia's premature death, and the course of the court case, was reproduced. Little-known events related to birth of Anastasia's son Volodymyr and Borys Grinchenko's intentions to adopt a grandson after his daughter's death were recreated. The relations in the Grinchenko family, which were based on the principles of mutual respect, friendship and love were shown. It was noted that the tragic events of 1908-1909 in the life of the Grinchenko family did not break the moral strength of the family members. Assessments of Nastya Grinchenko's activity in the Ukrainian social and political movement of the beginning of the 20th century, on the basis of her obituaries published in Galician and Trans-Dnieper magazines and newspapers, as well as letters and memories of people close to the Grinchenkos were reproduced. It is concluded that the researched part of the biography of A. Grinchenko and the history of her family and surroundings can more fully reproduce the little-known "internal" history of the development of the Ukrainian social and political movement at the beginning of the 20th century.
