| Additional information |
Volodymyr Dal — born in 1801 in what is now Luhansk, Ukraine — is remembered primarily as the compiler of the monumental Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language, a work that took him over fifty years to assemble. The Ukrainian claim on Dal is complicated: he identified ethnically as Russian and wrote in Russian, yet his birthplace and early years in the region gave Ukraine sufficient grounds to honor him on the centenary of his birth year with this 2001 issue.
