General information about Olenivka

The village of Olenivka is located next to the Kyiv-Moscow highway, 10 kilometers from Borzna.

The first written mention is dated 1671. In 1847, Olenivka was visited by the poet Taras Shevchenko.

The village of Olenivka is the last place of residence of the Ukrainian writer Panteleymon Kulish. In 1876, he settled on the Motronivka farm with his wife Hanna Barvinok. Here is their grave. In 1999, the museum-reserve "Hannyna pustyn" was opened. The restored manor of the writer on the shore of the pond is harmoniously integrated into the modern village.

Two settlements of the Bronze Age (II millennium BC) were discovered near Olenivka.

Село Оленівка розташоване поруч з трасою Київ-Москва, в 10 кілометрах від Борзни.

Перша письмова згадка датована 1671 роком. В 1847 році Оленівку відвідав поет Тарас Шевченко.

Село Оленівка - останнє місце проживання українського письменника Пантелеймона Куліша. У 1876 році він оселився на хуторі Мотронівка зі своєю дружиною Ганною Барвінок. Тут знаходиться їхня могила. В 1999 році відкрито музей-заповідник "Ганнина пустинь". Відновлена садиба письменника на березі ставка гармонійно вписана в сучасне село.

Поблизу Оленівки виявлені два поселення епохи бронзи (II тисячоліття до нашої ери).

Historical and Memorial Museum-Reserve of Panteleymon Kulish "Hannyna Pustyn"

Museum / gallery , Palace / manor

The historical and memorial museum-reserve of Panteleymon Kulish was founded in 1999 in the Motronivtsi hamlet, on the outskirts of the Olenivka village.

Ukrainian writer Panteleymon Kulish spent the last years of his life here, in the "Hannyna Pustyn" manor. He settled in Motronivtsi after the "Em decree" of 1876, according to which it was forbidden to publish any texts in the "Little Russian dialect", with the exception of artistic works and historical documents. Kulish's collection "Khutirska philosophy and poetry distant from the light" prepared here was banned by the censorship on the basis of this very decree.

On the territory of the farm, the manor of Kulish himself, as well as his wife and colleague Hanna Barvinok, was restored, monuments were erected, graves were arranged, a garden was planted and a pond was dug. The complex quite faithfully reflects village life.
