Vsevolod Oleksandrovych Holubovych (Ukrainian: Все́волод Олекса́ндрович Голубо́вич; Russian: Все́волод Алекса́ндрович Голубо́вич; February 1885 – 16 May 1939) was born in the village of Poltavka, Balta uyezd, Podolie Governorate. Holubovych was the Prime Minister of the Ukrainian People's Republic from January to March.
Vsevolod's father was Alexander Holubovych (Aug. 25, 1846 - Nov. 28, 1902) and his mother Iryna Ovsiyevna Yefremovych (Apr.29, 1859 - Oct.2, 1921). Born into a priest family, Holubovych as was expected started his education in the Podolie Spiritual Seminary of Ivan Bohoslov (Kamyanets-Podilsky). Remarkable is the fact that the same seminary was attended by another future Prime Minister of Ukraine, Volodymyr Chekhivsky although as a teacher. Vsevolod by the end of his studies in the seminary started to be interested in the political life in the country and in 1903 joined the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party.
Vsevolod decided to deviate from his family occupation into more scientific field enrolling in the Engineering Department of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (KPI). Already in 1905 he was arrested for the first time and was excluded from the university. It took his mother's influence and connections to refrain Vsevolod from interrogations and reinstatement back into university. The administration of KPI reviewed her son's case and charged him with a simple administrative warning. Vsevolod was allowed to complete his studies in 1915 when Holubovych finally received his diploma in civil engineering (road network specialization). Considering all the complications that involved to reinstate him back in school, he nonetheless chose to ignore the warning and together with his friend Ivan Nemolovsky who just returned from Belgium established the Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary underground group. The party has already was earning the popularity amongst various categories of population in the Russian Empire and especially in the Ukrainian lands.
