Dmytro Ivanovych Yavornytsky (Ukrainian: Дмитро́ Іва́нович Яворни́цький), or Dmitry Ivanovich Yavornitsky (also known as Dmitry Evarnitsky, Russian: Дмитрий Иванович Яворницкий; November 6, 1855, Kharkov Governorate, Russian Empire – August 5, 1940, Dnipropetrovsk, Soviet Union) was a Russian and Ukrainian academician, historian, archeologist, ethnographer, folklorist, and lexicographer. Yavornytsky was a member of Moscow Archaeological Society (from 1885), of All-Russian Archaeological Society (from 1886) and an academician of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (from 1929). He was recognised as one of the most prominent researchers of the Zaporozhian Cossacks from the time of the Cossack Hetmanate, and the author of their first general history. In recognition of his many contributions to the preservation of Zaporozhian Host history and culture, he is widely known in historiography as "the father of the Zaporozhians". Source: Wikipedia (en)
