The article considers the history of the creation of the text and the first publication of Lesia Ukrainka's memoirs about M. V. Kovalevsky and the role of B. Yakubsky in it as a publisher. B. Yakubsky is a representative of the Ukrainian literary studies in the 20s-30s of the twentieth century, a researcher, textologist and a publisher of the Lesia Ukrainka’s literary heritage. The author of the article lays emphasis on the role of B. Yakubsky, since under his general editorship, a collection of works by Lesia Ukrainka appeared first in the seven-volume (1923-1925) and then in twelve-volume (1927-1930) editions, where the poetess’s «Memories about Mykola Kovalevsky» were published among a great number of other famous works. These publications are unique as they not only represent holistically the liteary heritage of Lesia Ukrainka, but also provide solid studies of her creativity, and the notes to each of them, which contain variants and a textual commentary, are of great importance.
