The Ukrainian Academy of Sciences was established by the government of the Ukrainian State in November 1918, during the rule of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi. It survived wars, reorganisations and changes in personnel, maintaining its institutional continuity from its foundation to the present day.
The Ukrainian intelligentsia had been discussing the need to establish an Academy of Sciences since the beginning of the Ukrainian Revolution. However, it was under Skoropadskyi that these plans were finally put into practice.
What challenges did Skoropadskyi’s government face in establishing the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences? Why had the idea not been realised earlier, despite discussions dating back to the beginning of the Ukrainian Revolution? How did political instability and external threats affect the establishment of the Academy? We will explore these questions during our museum educational session.
