Ukrainian patrons: the story of wealth that built the future

Imagine Ukraine, where there were their own dynasties of the rich. Where sugar empires were built not for luxury, but for the sake of a school in the village, a hospital, a library, a future.

This is not a fairy tale. This is our history - it's just that almost no one talks about it.

Tereshchenko. Symyrenko. Myloradovych-Skoropadska, Alchevska, Chykalenko - names that every Ukrainian should know.

People who created fortunes - and invested them in education, culture, the future of the country.

And then came the Holodomor-genocide. And it erased not only millions of lives, but also an entire tradition - the tradition of Ukrainian wealth, entrepreneurship, and patronage.

On July 18 at the Crona Hotel & Spa, we are talking about this out loud. About what Ukraine could have been. And what it is when it remembers its own.

Lecturer - Maryana Hirnyak, TV presenter and researcher of Ukrainian culture.
