Source : Lesja Ukrainka. Collected works in 12 volumes. – K.: Naukova Dumka, 1978, vol. 11, p.128.
This photo is considered falsification on the basis of the following explanation:
"… why you placed a montage of Lesja and mother (p. 97). Apparently, someone pushed you and said that it Lesja's photo, and you did not know […] This photo of the mother [Olena Pchilka], and only head of Lesja. [Letter by I. Kosach-Borisova to A. Kostenko dated 28 April 1964 – In the book. : Larisa P. Kosach-Kvitka (Lesja Ukrainka). Biographical material. Memoirs. Iconography. Author of the project and the introductory article Tamara Skrypka. New York-Kyiv, 2004. – S. 219.]
We sincerely appreciate p.Tamara Skrypka for this indication.
