Conclusions. Oksana Georgiivna Lintvaryova lived a bright and dynamic life. She was born in 1908 and died in 2008, 8 months short of her centenary. She is the successor of two noble families of Slobid Ukraine - Lintvaryov and Bekaryukov. Being a noblewoman, she absorbed European, Russian and Ukrainian culture. She was surrounded by many famous Ukrainian writers and scientists. There were especially many of them in the 1920s - in the first half of the 1930s, when her mother worked at the State Publishing House of Ukraine, and Oksana herself was the operator of the first Ukrainian radio center. Before the war, she was the wife of prominent Ukrainian figures – Lev Kovaliv and Lev Chikalenko. Since 1943, she fell in love with Yuriy Shevelyov and to some extent helped him in his scientific work, often translating his studies into European languages. O. Zabuzhko calls her a "femme fatale" because of her relationships with men. Nevertheless, her life was not easy. After a carefree childhood, she, as a representative of a noble family, from 1917 had to experience a lot of suffering during the years of the revolution and after its termination, to survive the arrest and execution of two men, to escape from her own arrest all the way to Chelyabinsk. After the start of the German-Soviet war, Oksana Georgievna deliberately stayed in occupied Kharkiv, and in 1943 she emigrated to the West. She took a direct part in events held by Ukrainian emigrants. Organizing the archive of her last husband, Lev Chikalenko, can be considered an important act of her life.
