My sister in christ: he was from the Russian Empire. He used the name Nikolai Gogol himself. He wrote about the Russian Empire. His novels are about Russian politics. He was not some Ukrainian folklorist.
Weirdest Ukraine propaganda yet.

Hah, this would be better alley for claiming he wasn’t Russian since Ruthenian nobility were completely polonised by the point, and the new Ukrainian nationalism comes not from them but from the burgeoisie
November 1830 was the start of biggest Polish uprising against Russia so claiming polish roots back then for Russian noble was basically admitting support for it.
