@-lavale- Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko used the phrase in the form "Glory of Ukraine" in a 1860 poem
Origins
A similar phrase, "Glory of Ukraine",[nb 1] has been used at least since the time of the prominent patriotic Ukrainian writer Taras Shevchenko. In his poem To Osnovianenko («До Основ'яненка»; 1840, in the version of 1860) Shevchenko wrote:[3]
Our thought, our song
Will not die, will not perish…
Oh there, people, is our glory,
Glory of Ukraine!
In the 1877 drama L'Hetman by the French author Paul Déroulède, the main character, Hetman Frol Gherasz, uses "Glory to Ukraine!" (French: Gloire à l’Ukraine!) as a salute.[4] The events of the drama take place during the Khmelnytsky Uprising,[5] which indicates that the phrase may have been in use in the Cossack Hetmanate.
The first known mention of the slogan "Glory to Ukraine!" with the response "Glory all around the world!" (Ukrainian: По всій землі слава, Po vsiy zemli slava) is in connection with the Ukrainian student community of the late 19th to early 20th centuries in Kharkiv.[1]
