,,Three Summers”(1843-45),also,,The Women Servant”, ,,Heretic and My Testament”(1845)are mainly focused on the theme of struggle against tsarist autocracy.The dissolution of the Brotherhood of Sts.Cyril

                  When  I am dead,then bury me

                  In my beloved Ukraine.

                 My tomb upon a grave mound high

                 Amid the spreading plain.

                 So that the field,the boundless steppes,

                 The Dnipro’s plunging shore

               My eyes could see,my ears could hear

                The mightly river roar.
