Ruska khata

Ruska khata («Руска хата»; The Ruthenian House [subtitled ‘An Illustrated Periodical of Literature, Science, and Contemporary Life’]). A semimonthly literary journal published in Lviv in 1905 (24 issues) and 1906 (1 issue) by D. Sembratovych and edited by him and Ya. Nebylovets. Among the contributors were members of the modernist group Moloda Muza and other writers, such as Viacheslav Budzynovsky, Mykhailo Pavlyk (who published in it the correspondence of Mykhailo Drahomanov with Nataliia Kobrynska), Oleksa Kovalenko, and Mykola Mikhnovsky (the eight-part essay ‘Spirillum patricianum ukrainophilicum’). Although the journal was intended for a general audience, it failed to attract many readers and was succeeded by the magazine S’vit.
