Abstract

The collection of archival manuscripts of the National Museum of Ukrainian History contains unknown letters of Lev Matseievych, a graduate of Kyiv Theological Academy, of 1909–1911, which are addressed almost exclusively to Stepan Drozdov. The epistolary contains different facts concerning the sender. Yet the main topic is gathering of information about Kyiv-Mohyla Academy’s graduate and Kyiv Theological Academy’s rector and archbishop Smarahd (Kryzhanovskyi). Matsiievych’s letters make it clear what was found out about Smarahd’s family in the archive of Velyka Berezianka village church (Kyiv region). The letters also contain some details which allow to estimate the author’s qualification as a researcher.

Key words: the National Museum of Ukrainian History, Kyiv Theological Academy, Lev Stepanovych Matseievych, Stepan Leontiyevych Drozdov, Smarahd (Kryzhanovskyi).
