It should be noted that «Conversations...» went beyond the agrarian sector and had acquired general historical significance, as they revealed the enlightening dominants of Chikalenko's inner essence, for example. his desire to help his people not only materially, but also with thought, advice and action. Chikalenko is a bright talented figure of the Ukrainian national movement, who went down in history.
