This is an automatically translated description

An active public and political figure, member of the Central Rada, Minister of Education in the government of the Ukrainian People's Republic, director of the Sociological Institute in Prague, and head of the Ukrainian branch of the Voice of America radio station, Nykyfor Hryhoriiiv was first and foremost an educator. Growing up in a community that was far from having a national identity, he clearly saw the need to put the teaching of history and literature on native soil. He is the author of several textbooks and manuals, primarily for schoolchildren, where he sought to make the study of Ukrainian and world history accessible and interesting by drawing on the folklore treasury.
