The idea of writing an article appeared during the elaboration of sources for
historical and cultural essay about the village Duliby of the Stryi District. In publications
devoted to master V.Turchinyak, the Duliby’s Church of St. Yuriy building., there are a number
of provisions for which I am as a historian, architect must react, highlight your vision of this
figure. The relevance of the topic is outlined.
The purpose of the publication is to consider extensive historiography, to highlight the
current state of study of life and artistic heritage of the builder Vasyl Turchinyak from Lug
Nadvirna district. The source base of the article is analyzed works devoted to V. Turchinyak,
from the end of the XIX century to the present.
For the first time talked about the master at the end of the XIX century, after a wellknown
public figure and ethnographer Volodymyr Shukvevich visited him. It has been
established that the study of creativity of master V. Turchinyak activated at the end of 20thearly
21th century. This determines the chronological limits of our research.
The participation of V. Turchinyak, Dulibian community and master in the construction
of the Chirch of St. Yuriy in the village of Duliby is expressed on detail.
The role of Father M. Datsishin in resurrection of memory of the of the prominent
master, in the dissemination of information about the Dulib’s Church of St. Yuriy is relevant.
It is shown what was based on the talent of the master V.Turchinyak, which allowed him
to organically combine architectural and constructive elements with the artistic, as he adapted
the traditional thread to the requirements of sacred monumental art, created a distinelive style.
It was found that the master V. Turchinyak, as most of the folk masters, was endowed with
supernatural abalities, as widespread revision of his beliefs, divination, and providence.
It is stated that in many today’s publications, we have a valid historical and cultural
reality of the creativity of V. Turchinyak, and a variety of oral folklore, in which his figure is
grown by weight, people poetize the master who loves and wants to be shown wiser than
architect, engineer, and mister.
The research methodology is based on theoretical analysis, systematization and
generalization, historical examination and observation of the author.
