Ukrainian and Russian writers Ivan Franko, Mykhailo Drahomanov, Anton Chekhov and others bowed before his talent as a literary critic, writer and publicist. His personal life was less successful. He was hopelessly in love with the Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka, but he never dared to confess his feelings until her death. After the arrest of his son, his pregnant wife remained, and in order to give the child a name, he adopted the newborn boy. But soon he himself fell under repression.
