development of Ukraine science has its beginning since the 18th
century, when the Kyiv Mohyla Academy became a noted research
centre. A great page in Ukraine’s history was the Ukrainian
Academy of Sciences. Its founder was a very talented man with the
world – known name- Volodymyr Vernadsky. The group of famous
people made a valuable contribution into Ukraine’s science from
its first steps. They were noted historians Antonovych, Hrushevsky,
