Oleksander Shulhyn (Ukrainian: Олександр Шульгин; Russian: Александр Шульгин; French: Alexandre Choulguine) was a prominent political, public, scientific and cultural figure of Ukraine and the Ukrainian government in exile better known under his French transcription Alexandre Choulguine. He is a nephew of the Russian writer Vasily Shulgin.
Shulhyn played a key role in establishing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. He was a member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, a professor of the Ukrainian Free University in Prague, a member of the Ukrainian delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919 and a representative of Ukrainians in International Refugee Organization after World War II. During the World War II (1939–40 and 1945–46) Shulhyn acted as a head of Ukrainian government in exile.
Shulhyn was born in the village of Sofyne (Katsapshchyna), Khorol county in Government of Poltava (today Andriivka rural council of Khorol Raion) in the family of a historian and pedagogue Yakiv Shulhyn whose heritage is traced to the Cossack officers (starshina). He is related to Vasily Shulgin. Brother of Oleksander, Volodymyr perished at the Battle of Kruty. Shulhyn initially enrolled at the mathematics-physics department of the Saint Petersburg State University in 1908. In 1910 he transferred to the department of history and philosophy from which Shulhyn graduated in 1915. Later until 1917, he worked at the department as a professor's assistant.
