Summary/Abstract: This article features the idea of freedom in the interpretation of stories, diaries and letters according of Shevchenko. His position proved that all the characters in their own kobzar choose freedom of expression, struggling for “sacred right” to freedom, justice and happiness. He proved that the concept of freedom of the writer, as a manifestation of the absolute dignity and the free activity of self–expression correlates with the notion of human goodness, love, and mercy, which derived from his Christian faith. The tragic fate of kobzar is an example embodiment of the eternal ideals of freedom.
