Elizaveta Ivanovna de Witte, born in 1833 and believed to have lived past 1915, was a Russian educator, author, and publicist who supported the Orthodox monarchy. She expressed strong opposition to the Ukrainian nationalist movement and the actions taken by Austria-Hungary towards the Slavic population. Despite her scientific and pedagogical contributions, her monarchical beliefs and support for the idea of a single Russian people have resulted in her legacy being largely overlooked in modern times.
The book was published at the expense of Peter S. Hardy, an American entrepreneur and philanthropist of Galician-Russian, Lemko, and Orthodox organizations in the USA and Poland. Books published with the assistance of Peter S. Hardy were distinguished by a high level of printing performance, which was not typical for emigrant publications.
