Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky

Ivan Levytsky, who signed himself Nechuy, was born in 1838 in Stebliv, in the Kyiv region, the son of a priest. After graduating in 1865 from the Kyiv theological academy, he taught Russian language and history and geography at the Poltava seminary, then at the gymnasiums of Kalisz and Siedlce, in Poland, and of Chișinău. As his stories could not be printed in the Empire, they first appeared in Lviv journals. He left teaching and settled in Kyiv in 1885 to devote himself to writing, took part in the Old Hromada and participated in the Ukrainian translation of the Bible. He died in Kyiv in 1918.
