Evgen Kontantinovič Timčenko translated many of the great works of world literature into Ukrainian, for example, Byron, Victor Hugo and Guy de Maupassant. His translation of the Kalevala came out in 1901 in Lwów as a part in a series of important literary works. Lwów was, at that point of time, a part of Austria.
In 1995, a new, revised edition in Ukrainian of the Kalevala was published. The author and politician Dmitry Pavlichko had edited the version.
