Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky (25 November 1838 – 15 April 1918) was a well-known Ukrainian writer.

Biography

Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky was born on 25 November 1838 to a family of a peasant priest in Stebliv (Cherkasy region of central Ukraine). In 1847 entered the Boguslav religious school. Upon graduating from the Kyiv Theological Academy (1865) he taught Russian language, history, and geography in the Poltava Theological Seminary (1865–1866) and, later, in different gymnasiums in Kalisz (Congress Poland), Siedlce (Congress Poland, 1867–1872), and Kyshyniv (Bessarabia, 1873–1874). He started writing in 1865, but due to Russian imperial censorship his works appeared only in Galician periodicals, such as the journals Pravda, Dilo, and Zoria (Lviv).

He died of hunger in 1918 in one of almshouses of Kyiv.
