According to one, the most popular version, “Not yet dead...” was born in the fall of 1862 during a student party in Kyiv. There Pavel Chubinsky heard from his Serbian friends their folk song “The heart beats and bends for our freedom”
“Obviously it was a fun event where a lot of alcohol was consumed. “Many sang,” historian Ivan Svarnik told journalists of the ZiK TV channel. – When the Serbian song sounded, Chubinsky was very struck. He decided that his words were very relevant for Ukrainians.”
“The entire text was written at once. Chubinsky sat down and, without getting up from the table, wrote a long poem,” Severyanka said. – In fact, this poem has two columns. That is, if the piece had to be sung in full, it would take half an hour. Later, several stanzas were selected from this long poem.”
