# Taras Shevchenko

> A serf who became the founding voice of modern Ukrainian literature. His poetry collection Kobzar gave shape to the language itself, and his exile for joining a forbidden national movement turned him into a symbol - first for liberals across the Russian Empire, then for generations after.

## Bio

Taras Shevchenko was born on 9 March 1814 into a family of serfs in Russian-ruled Ukraine. He showed early talent for art and rose to become a fellow of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. After returning to Ukraine, he joined the emerging national movement and the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius - a choice that earned him exile to Central Asia. Even under prohibitions, he kept writing poetry in Ukrainian and prose in Russian, and his work spread through liberal circles. When Alexander II's reforms freed him from exile, he was still barred from settling in Ukraine. He died in Saint Petersburg on 10 March 1861, a day after his forty-seventh birthday.
