Mykhailo Serhiyovych Hrushevsky (Ukrainian: Михайло Сергійович Грушевський, Polish: Mychajło Hruszewski, Russian: Михаил Сергеевич Грушевский, Chełm, 29 September [O.S. 17 September] 1866 – Kislovodsk, 24 November 1934) was a Ukrainian academician, politician, historian, and statesman, one of the most important figures of the Ukrainian national revival of the early 20th century. He was the country's greatest modern historian, foremost organizer of scholarship, leader of the pre-revolution Ukrainian national movement, head of the Central Rada (Ukraine's 1917–1918 revolutionary parliament), and a leading cultural figure in Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s. He died under suspicious circumstances during Stalin's purges in 1934.
Mykhailo Hrushevsky was born on September 29, 1866 in a Ukrainian noble family. Hrushevsky grew up in the foothills of the Caucasian mountains in Stavropol and Vladikavkaz. His spiritual native land became Podolia in the area of the village of Sestrynivka, Podolia Governorate, where his mother (Hlafira Zakharivna Okopova) was born, and where her father was a local Orthodox priest. In the same village she married the professor of the Kiev Ecclesiastical Seminary, Serhiy Fedorovych Hrushevsky. Serhiy Hrushevsky's father was a highly decorated official (his awards included the two Orders of Saint Anna and the Bronze Cross, and a title of nobility). Fedir Hrushevsky was a graduate of the history department of the Kiev University and later personally blessed his grandson when he was enrolling into the Saint Vladimir University in Kiev.
