Biography
A. O. Kozachkovsky was born on August 4 (16), 1812 in Pereyaslav (now - the city of Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky, Kiev region , Ukraine ) [1] . The son of the rector of the Pereyaslavsky seminary and the grandson (on the maternal side) of the archpriest Pereyaslavsky Ascension Cathedral , who was also the rector of the Pereyaslavsky seminary and played a big role at the first Poltava and Pereyaslavsky bishop Sylvester .
He studied at the Pereyaslavl Seminary, and then graduated from the Medical and Surgical Academy in St. Petersburg (1835) with the title “ medicus primae classis ” (first-class physician). He served as a doctor in the Navy, since 1842 - a county doctor in Kursk , and since January 1844 he worked as a city doctor in Pereyaslav [1] [2] .
In the autumn of 1841, while in St. Petersburg, A.O. Kozachkovsky met and made friends with Taras Shevchenko. He in August 1845, on the instructions of the Kiev Archaeographic Commission at Kiev University, arrived in Pereyaslav and stayed with his friend. Shevchenko made a number of drawings of architectural and historical monuments of Pereyaslav, landscapes of nearby villages [2] [3] . At the end of October of the same year, Shevchenko again came to Pereyaslav and lived in Kozachkovsky’s house (intermittently) until the beginning of January 1846 [4] . The autumn of 1845, spent in Kozachkovsky’s house, is considered by Shevchenko scholars to be the period of Taras Shevchenko’s genuine creative take-off and is called Kobzar’s Pereyaslavskaya fall : it is here that the poet creates his own works such as the poems and “The Caucasus ”, a dedication to Shafarik for the poem , and on the night of December 25 - the famous" Testament "( " Memorial " ) [2] [5] .
Once Taras Shevchenko saw that Kozachkovsky was planting trees near his house, and began to help him. Friends planted “in a mystery” two young seedlings of white acacia in one hole, weaving their trunks among themselves - as a sign of eternal friendship; while Shevchenko said: "May all people be related, like these branches . " To this day, two old acacias with closely interwoven trunks grow near the former house of Kozachkovsky; the inhabitants of Pereyaslav take care of these trees as living witnesses of the great Kobzar [6] [7] .
After the departure of Taras Shevchenko from Pereyaslav A.O. Kozachkovsky corresponded with him. In 1847, Shevchenko, who was serving recruiting service in the Orsk fortress , wrote the poem “A. O. Kozachkovsky . " Kozachkovsky also financially helped the exiled poet [4] .
From July 16, 1846, A.O. Kozachkovsky worked as a professor of medicine at the Pereyaslavsky Seminary (until her transfer to Poltava in September 1862). In Pereyaslav, he established himself as a public figure.
In 1859, Shevchenko, released in 1857 from exile, again visited Ukraine. Moreover, he twice - in June and October - came to Pereyaslav to Kozachkovsky. Kozachkovsky managed to preserve for future generations a significant part of the works of his friend, and at the beginning of 1874 wrote memoirs about him [2] .
A.O. Kozachkovsky died on August 8 (20), 1889 in his native Pereyaslav [1] .
On April 18, 2008, the Zapovit Museum by T. G. Shevchenko was opened in the former Kozachkovsky house [7] .
