"Interview" of Izydora Kosach regarding her famous older sister, the writer Lesia Ukrainka. The speaker on the recording, however, is not Izydora Kosach, based on attestations of her living descendents in 2021. The voice is presumably that of an individual reading written responses to submitted questions provided by Izydora Kosach. These responses contain reminiscences, as well as critiques of inaccuracies in Soviet sources on Lesia Ukrainka. This recording was likely made for Radio Liberty, though it is not so identified.
Annotation of this recording was done with the assistance of students at the Department of Ukrainian History at Dnipro National University.
