Antin Mohylnytsky

Antin Mohylnytsky was born in 1811 in Pidhirky, now part of Kaloch, the son of the village's Greek-Catholic priest, from a family of noble origin. A village priest, then dean of Bohorodchany, he saw himself as the continuer of the circle of seminarians that had opened Ukrainian letters in Galicia, and from 1839 published poems in praise of the language of the country. During the revolution of 1848, he came out in favour of an understanding between Ukrainians and Poles. Elected in 1861 to the Galician Diet, he was a delegate to the Imperial Council in Vienna. He died in 1873 in the village of Yablunka.
