On this page are links to past newsletters. These newsletters have been produced monthly since July 2015. The newsletters include translations of extracts from Sukhomlynsky’s writings, including some of his little stories for children on ethical themes. They also include articles about Sukhomlynsky, and updates about Sukhomlynsky publications and the activity of Sukhomlynsky scholars. Anyone with an interest in understanding Sukhomlynsky’s legacy, or in promoting knowledge about him, is invited to subscribe to the newsletter, and to submit articles to it.

A note on the spelling of Sukhomlynsky’s name

The spelling of Sukhomlynsky’s name in English depends on whether it is transliterated from the Russian form of his name or the Ukrainian form. As I gained access to Sukhomlynsky’s work through Russian language publications, I initially adopted a transliteration from Russian, and spelt his name as “Vasily Aleksandrovich Sukhomlinsky”. I continued to use this spelling until 2023. However, in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and increased sensitivity about any attempt to subsume Ukrainian identity under Russian identity, I have changed to a spelling that reflects Sukhomlynsky’s Ukrainian identity. The spelling of his name when transliterated from Ukrainian is “Vasyl’ Oleksandrovych Sukhomlyns’kyi”, or, in a simpler transliteration, “Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynsky”. I have adopted the latter transliteration. That is why the spelling Sukhomlynsky News is used from Issue 96 onwards.
