Taras Shevchenko`s Birthday

March: Change & Responsibility


Taras Shevchenko (9 Mar 1814 – 10 Mar 1861) was a famous Ukrainian poet and artist who lived at a time when Ukraine was under the control of the Russian Empire and its culture was often oppressed. Because he was born a serf and experienced poverty, exile, and punishment for his writings, he created powerful poems in his collection Kobzar that spoke about freedom, dignity, and love for Ukraine. Through his poetry and art, he defended the Ukrainian language and national identity. Today, his legacy inspires people to value their culture, stand up for justice, and remain strong in the struggle for independence and human rights.

The word of the day:  exile (noun) /ˈɛksaɪl/

Meaning: when someone has to leave their country, usually for political reasons, and can't return home.

Example: The writer lived in exile because the government did not like his books.
