Ukrainian House [uk], a magazine inspired by Young Muse, began publication in Russian Ukraine in 1909.
[2] Ivan Franko, a western Ukrainian cultural leader, was appreciative of the quality of the group's work, but felt that they were insufficiently attentive to the development of the Ukrainian national identity, and criticised them as decadent for their devotion to imagery.
[3] Although they sought to distance themselves from politics, politics influenced the fate of many of Young Muse, who were either forced to adhere to socialist realism (in the case of Karmanskyi) or died in the Gulag (in the case of Birchak and Lutskyi).
[4] Young Muse have been compared to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood by Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University professor S. I. Nisevych, who in particular notes the groups' shared opposition to industrial society and focus on aesthetics.
[5] Ukrainian poet and literary historian Viktor Neborak [uk] has also compared them to the existentialist movement, although it would not come to Ukraine until far after Young Muse had already disappeared.
