Ukrayina magazine, 1907

In the last year of its existence (1906) when censorship on Ukrainian language was dropped, the periodical was renamed Ukraine and was published in Ukrainian. The monthly chronicle played a major role in development of Ukrainian culture under the conditions of the Russian Empire. Together with the periodical worked such people as Volodymyr Antonovych, Dmytro Bahaliy, Mykola Kostomarov, Pavlo Zhytetskyi, Orest Levytskyi, Oleksandr Yefymenko, Oleksandr Lazarevskyi etc.

Main sponsor of the magazine was Hryhoriy Galagan.

Along with the magazine, in 1899 Mykola Biliashivsky started to publish his "Arkheologicheskaya letopis Yuzhnoi Rossii" (Archaeological chronicle of the Southern Russia) at first as an addition, but in 1901-1905 as a separate magazine.

After Kievaskaya starina ceased to be published, in 1907 Naumenko continued to publish monthly magazine under name Ukrayina for year.

In the late Soviet period attempts were made to revive the magazine in 1970s, but only since 1992 Petro Tolochko managed to establish a magazine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyivska starovyna which is published in Ukrainian language.In this magazine in 1884 was published the first prose work of Taras Shevchenko, published in Russian language, "Knyahynya" ("The Princess").
