We Are From Ukraine

This book is a compilation of stories about exceptional Ukrainians who have achieved global recognition in various fields and made a significant impact on the world.
It is an updated version of a guide to the world of prominent Ukrainians. Journalist Uliana Skitska, author of the bestseller «#OurPeopleOnTheWorldMap» breathes new life into familiar stories and introduces readers to remarkable figures whose achievements inspire and amaze. On the pages of the book, legends come to life: Solomiya Krushelnytska, Andy Warhol, Sofia Yablonska, Kazimir Malevich, and Igor Sikorsky. But alongside them, you will also discover true gems: the Oscar-winning Disney animator Volodymyr Titla, the talented geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, the pioneer of computer science Mykhailo Kravchuk, the inventor of Wi-Fi Hedy Lamarr, the legendary NHL goalie Terry Sawchuk, and the Kharkiv native Yuri Knorozov, who deciphered the Mayan writing system.
These people are not just names from textbooks; they are living stories filled with unexpected twists and turns, incredible achievements, and sincere patriotism. Their biographies sometimes seem like movie scripts, but in reality, these are real lives that inspire and motivate us to create our own stories.
