Manage episode 415639072 series 3284458
Ivan Franko (1856-1916) is considered the third in Ukraine's literary pantheon. He was a poet, writer, social and literary critic, journalist, translator, economist, political activist, doctor of philosophy, ethnographer and staunch Ukrainian independentist. His work has been used by the Soviets to completely alter his historical influence but his ideas on socialism were never so simple. This episode looks into his life and times and examines his works and their influence - which are felt even today.
