Tatyana Pavlovna Fesenko (1915 - 1995) was a writer and bibliographer. She was born into a family of a lawyer and agronomist, who unfortunately became a victim of Stalin's terror in the late 1930s. In 1941, she finished her postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Kyiv University. She worked on compiling an English-Ukrainian dictionary at the Academy of Sciences of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. During the German occupation in 1941, she was in Ukraine. Unfortunately, she and her husband were taken to a camp for "eastern workers" in Upper Silesia, Germany, due to the general eviction of the Kyiv population by the Germans in 1943. After 1945, the Fesenko couple lived in a camp for "displaced persons" in the American occupation zone in West Germany. Here, they published the English textbook "First Steps" for "displaced persons" of Ukrainian origin. She co-authored several books with her husband, including the work "The Russian Language under the Soviets" (New York, 1955). Scarce, especially autographed.
