The life & times of Taras Shevchenko (part 2)

Over the Christmas week we’re doing things a little differently.
Today is the second part of a special two part podcast on the
life and works of Ukrainian poet, writer and artist, Taras
Shevchenko.


In the last episode, we heard about the historical period in
which the young Shevchenko grew up. We heard about the boy who
was born a serf but went to St Petersburg for his education.


Lyubov spoke about his poetry and ended the episode with his
arrest by the Tsarist powers. That’s where we pick up his
story.
