Ярослав Барнич claimed to have written the song around the same time, and in 1938 he used it as part of an opera called "Гуцулка Ксеня".

It's possible that Савицький wrote the original and Барнич rewrote it, thinking it was a folk song. Барнич heavily reworked folk songs in the past (e.g. [[Конику ґальоп]]) so this would be consistent with past behavior.

When it was called out that Савицький wrote the original, perhaps Барнич continued to insist that he composed it for fear of losing the rights to the song, or because he had told Ксеня Клиновська that he wrote the song for her and didn't want to admit that he hadn't. | ||

A number of other songs commonly attributed to Барнич were also attributed to Савицький. Some claim that this was because Barnych was now in America and/or dead and they wouldn't be able to perform the song if copyright permission could not be obtained. It's possible that this is completely false, completely true, or perhaps false for some songs but true for others (e.g. maybe Гуцулка Ксеня was actually written by Савицький and stolen by Барнич, but then Савицький stole Барнич's other works for copyright purposes). | ||
The lyrics which are sung today are Савицький's variant. Барнич's lyrical variant is almost completely unknown - to the best of my knowledge there is [https://www.russian-records.com/details.php?image_id=45368 only a single recording]. | The lyrics which are sung today are Савицький's variant.
