Olga Dmitrievna Bagalei-Tatarinova dating history

Details

Olga Dmytrivna Bagaliy-Tatarynova (1889–1942) (familiarly known as Olga Dmytrivna) was a Ukrainian historian, archivist, bibliographer and librarian. In the early 1920's, she became head of the Department of Ukrainian History at the Kharkiv Institute of Public Education. In 1942, while Kharkiv was held by German forces, the occupiers began a campaign to remove the cultural treasures of Ukraine, notably the "library campaign." But because she was part of the commission for cleaning (stealing) the collections of the University Library, she helped the library keep its collection of manuscripts, old prints and rare editions safe.
