Biography
Evgeny Nikolaevich Pashchenko was born in 1950 in Vorkuta . His future father, Nikolai Pashchenko, was sentenced to seven years in prison in a concentration camp because he, an officer, was captured by the Germans, when they captured the Crimean peninsula . His future mother, Maria Boyko, was sentenced to death by the court - shooting for anti-Soviet activities. The death sentence was replaced by ten years in prison, since Mary was a minor. According to the son, his mother was so severely punished for what she heard from a Russian prisoner of war, and then repeated in her village Kozakovo, Velikomikhaylovsky district of Odessa region, an unexpected “decoding” of the abbreviated name of the Torgsin stores created in the USSR for trade with foreigners for currency : “Comrades, come to your senses — Russia is dying, Stalin is exterminating the people.” The neighbor remembered those words and, when the Soviet troops returned, declared Maria Boyko’s anti-Soviet activities.
After being released from the Vorkuta concentration camps, Eugene's parents went to work in Zaporizhia , where they lived in a hut. When Eugene finished school, his parents were already rehabilitated. The guy entered the Russian department of the philological faculty of Kiev University . In 1970, a third-year student Yevgeny Pashchenko, within the framework of a mutual exchange between students of socialist countries, was sent to study at the University of Belgrade in the specialty “philologist-Slavist, teacher of Serbo-Croatian language and literature” on a mission from the Ministry of Higher Education of the Ukrainian SSR. After a year of studying in Belgrade, Yevgeny returned to Kiev and transferred from the Russian department of the Faculty of Philology to the department of Ukrainian studies, but continued his studies in Belgrade. In 1974, he graduated from the university there. In the same year, at the Kiev University, Evgeny Pashchenko, in absentia, obtained the qualification "philologist, teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature."
In 1981 he defended his thesis "Folklorism in the works of Vladimir Nazora ."
Since February 1989, Evgeny Pashchenko worked at the Kiev University at the Department of Slavic Philology. Simultaneously with his work at the university, he popularized Ukraine abroad: in the 1990/91 academic year, he was teaching the Ukrainian language in the SFRY during the USSR State Education Organization mission. In February 1995, Pashchenko was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in connection with going abroad to work at the Embassy of Ukraine in Croatia . He worked there as first secretary.
Being in diplomatic work, Yevgeny Pashchenko published during this time seven books about Ukraine. In 1996, he defended his doctoral thesis "Ukrainian-Serbian literary and cultural ties of the Baroque era of the XVII-XVIII centuries: contacts, typology, stylistics." In Zagreb , Pashchenko’s research work “Ethnogenesis and Mythology of Croats in the Context of Ukraine” was published in Croatian. The publication of this book, in particular, contributed to the fact that the University of Zagreb created a chair of Ukrainian studies. Since diplomatic work attracted Pashchenko less, he accepted the invitation to work at the University of Zagreb . There he heads the department of the Ukrainian language. Every year, this language is studied by 22 Croatian students who, after receiving diplomas, work as teachers of the Ukrainian language in educational institutions of Croatia and translators in the field of tourism and business.
In 2008, Pashchenko began the Croatian Ukrainians (Ucrainiana croatica) series, in which 11 books were published at the beginning of 2013. In particular, a book about the famine in Ukraine in the 1930s was published in Croatian.
