Mikhail Yuzefovich
Mikhail Vladimirovich Yuzefovich (Russian: Михаил Владимирович Юзефович) (1802—1889) was the deputy commissioner of the Kiev school district, chairman of the Kiev archaeological commission, and instigator of the Ems Ukaz that severely restricted the use of Ukrainian language.[1] [2][3] [4][5][6][7][8]
Yuzefovich was born in a noble [9] family in the Poltava region. He participated and was wounded in the Russo-Turkish war. He knew Pushkin.
Yuzefovich was known for his extreme Russian nationalist views and fierce opposition to the revival of the Ukrainian culture and language. In his 1876 report to the Russian government "On the so-called Ukrainophile movement", he characterised Ukrainian language societies as subversive and claimed they were organised by Polish and Austrian enemies of Russia. Yuzefovich's recommendations were incorporated in the Ems Ukaz, which was signed on 30 May 1876 by the Russian tsar Alexander II in the town of Ems, Germany. This Ukaz also became known as the "Yuzefovich Ukaz".[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
