During his tenure the mining industry and plantations of the country grew with large sums of money and exports growing out, some serfs had migrated from Chistovodia to work in the lucrative sugar business.

Early life

Levko the 4th child of the couple, was born a sick boy and many feared he would succumb to pneumonia during his early years, Levko survived the condition and lived briefly in Visvaina. His father died in 1782, after succumbing to a long period of illness, with Levko's older brother Orest taking control of his fathers timber business, Orest was offered a position in the colonial militia and he arranged for the business to be sold, with the money going to fund Marfa's and Levkos other 2 sisters their trip to Narozalica.

The 4 arrived to Samistopol in 1783 where they settled and the young Levko entered rudimentary education, in 1784 Marfa met a Polianian officer in the Narozalican Army, Yakov Zinoviy which she married and the family moved to Velike Vishnavaya, Levko was entered into the local military school where he would remain until 1795 when he would graduate. Initially interested in returning to Vinalia to join his older brother (which was by now a lieutenant), he was convinced by Yakov to join the army military academy in Samistopol. Levko was un interested in his studies and considered moving to Chistovodia, but decided to join the naval academy.
