Ukraine is the land rich in talents. Many world famous people of science, art, sports were (either) ethnic Ukrainians and (or) were born and became famous in Ukraine.
Here is just a small list of such celebrities.
Scientists:Evgeny and Boris Patone, Sergey Korolev, Nikolai Amosov, Alexander Shalimov, Oleg Antonov, Vladimir Filatov, Vladimir Vernadsky.
Writers:Taras Shevchenko, Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Franco, Ivan Kotlyarevsky, Mikhail Bulgakov, Oles Gonchar.

As they say, there are no questions about them - the honor of them and praise. But these names are particularly zealous "Patriots" little, and they begin to search for other world celebrities at least some connection with Ukraine. Sometimes the result of such searches is drawn behind the ears or at all is awkward.
What are the criteria for the number of famous Ukrainians or who have a Ukrainian pedigree? Apparently, clear parameters can not be here.
For example, it is possible to be considered Ukrainians born in Odessa Soviet writers of Jehiel-Laba Finezilberg and Yevgeny Katheva, who, after moving to Moscow, wrote the famous novels "12 chairs" and "Golden calf" ( Ilya Ilfe and Evgenia Petrov)?
Is it possible to consider the Ukrainians of those Jews, Poles and people of other nationalities that were born in the territory that was not then Ukraine, and which for different reasons were driving out from there and became famous in Russia, France or the United States?

In France, Vladimir Khavkin invented an anti-emitting vaccine. The Government of the Tsarist Russia refused to apply the invention of the political opponent of the Moscow Empire. After refusing to apply anti-east vaccination in a number of European countries, Havcilin has been working in India since 1896, where he created the first vaccine in the history of the plague. The efforts of the scientist found support from the Government of Great Britain. Experiments with invented Having vaccines most often spent on its body. In India, more than 4 million people were vaccinated. An outstanding scientist was appointed as the main bacteriologist of the country and the director of the Bombay Anti-Laboratory. Later, this laboratory was transformed into the Having Institute.

14.The kidney transplant
Yuri Voronova implemented the first kidney transplant in the world. It is extremely important that in the clinical conditions, the crow proved that the "kidney of fresh corpses is able to revive and function in transplanting to another person", and that "without any doubt the body authorities in transplanting a person do not give any specific intoxication or anaphylaxation." With its operation, the Voronene was much ahead of the development of transplantology. In most countries of the world, clinical transplants of kadaverni kidney began to do only in the 50s and 1960s.
15. Best blood test
Kharkov scientist Anatoly Malichin came up with how to make blood test bloodless. He created the device, five sensors of which are attached to certain parts of the human body, after which 131 health indicators are displayed on the computer screen. The device is actively used by doctors in China, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Egypt and Mexico.
16. Intibiotic Batumum
Scientists from the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine created a new antibiotic with high activity to all types of staphylococcus. In its chemical composition, this drug has no analogues.
17.compact disk
Few people know that the prototype of the CD in the late 1960s invented the graduate student of the Kiev Institute of Cybernetics Vyacheslav Petrov. Then the development was scientific and did not have anything to do with music. The optical disk was created for a super computer.
18.Electrical tram
In the early 1870s, Poltavchanin Fyodor Pyroatsky developed electricity transmission technology through the iron wire. In 1880, Pyroatsky presented a project for the use of electricity "for the movement of railway trains with current supply." A year later, the first tram came in Berlin, produced by Siemens according to the Ukrainian scheme.
19. Plot for people with problems of view
The guy from Lugansk Ivan Seleznev presented at the international competition "Intel International Science and Engineering Fair" his project "a new feeling: an ultrasonic glove for the spatial orientation of the visually impaired." Such a thing can become quite useful in terms of orientation in space. The invention of the young Ukrainian was in the top three of the world's best inventions in 2013, and American investors were already interested and offered cooperation. However, Ivan is still waiting for the opportunity to develop a project in Ukraine.
20. The computer to recognize persons
Kyivlyanin Hirura Anchushkin was 26 years old when he became interested in the problem of recognizing video and photo information. Together with his colleagues, he created a firm that set the goal to teach the computer to recognize human persons. For example, the development of Ukrainian programmers could quickly find the notorious "caravan arrow." But the fantastic technology no longer belongs to Ukraine. The online giant Google bought everyone who developed promising technology.
21.Some lasers in CD - and DVD players
Nick Golonak worked at the General Laboratory of Semiconductors "General Electric Company" in Syracuse (New York), where there were several important discoveries in the field of semiconductor devices, among which is the first functional light-emitting diode and semiconductor laser. Extremely economical LEDs began to be used during the manufacture of headlights, traffic lights, electronic and household appliances, designing information board on transport hubs, stadiums, and the like. His inventions made it possible to develop red lasers that function in a visible spectrum and are used in CD and DVD players. Nick Golonak participated in the invention of trigger - devices, on the basis of which computers, televisions and other modern electronic devices work.
22.One from the "fathers" of the Internet
Leonard Kleinrock in 1961, while still a student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described the technology capable of split files into parts and transmit them in various ways through the network. A young scientist published his scientific work dedicated to digital network connections - "Information flow in large communication networks". These ideas were based on his doctoral dissertation, the findings from which he published in the publication "Communication Networks" (1964). In this book, L. Klyainok outlined the basic principles (together with his subsequent theoretical developments) batch communication, which underlie the current Internet technology. Kleenk's ideas were ahead, so they found their widespread use in the late 60s of the 20th century, when they were interested in the Agency of Research Projects (ARPA), one of whose activities was the creation of computer technologies for military purposes, in particular, communications.
Ukrainians are a talented nation and this list of inventions of that proof. It is a pity that, as before, Ukrainian scientists do not receive support from the state. Therefore, now they have to implement their plans and inventions on the territory of other countries that are very interested in our scientists.
Their lives were closely intertwined with the fate of Russia. With its talents and achievements, many great Ukrainians not only indiscriminate their names, but also contributed to the greatness of a multinational country.
Nikolay Gogol
The family legend said that Gogoli came from the old Ukrainian Cossack family. Nikolai Vasilyevich wrote mainly in Russian, but thought - in Ukrainian, and, it seems, it was not very striving to find out what is more in it. In one of the letters of 1844, Gogol admitted that he himself did not know what his soul he had, Khokhlats or Russian. He was convinced that it was impossible to "give the advantages of neither Malororsia before the Russian, nor Russian before Malororsia", because "both nature are too generously gifted by God, and how the purpose of each of them makes it in itself what is not in another, - a clear sign, What they must replenish one other. "
It is known that Gogol has experienced warm feelings both at Moscow and St. Petersburg and Kiev and his small homeland - Poltava. For him, Malorosia was an unconditional part of a huge country, which he wrote about in his article "A look at the compilation of Malorussey." As for the choice of language, Gogol clearly made his position in one of the letters professor-Slavist Moscow University Osip Bajansky: "Dominant for Russians, Chekhov, Ukrainians and Serbs should be a single shrine - Pushkin's language, what is the Gospel for all Christians." It is possible that exactly the most sincere faith in the fact that "we must write in Russian," and thus "strive to support and strengthen one, dominal language for all native tribes", and allowed Gogola to erase the boundaries between the two peoples, and eventually become great The classic of Russian literature, whose name is known worldwide.
Vladimir Vernadsky
And Ukrainians, and Russians equally consider the largest scientist XX century with their compatriot. The family legend in the colors described the glorious feats of the ancestors of Vladimir Ivanovich - Zaporizhzhya Cossacks. And although the place of his birth was St. Petersburg, a lot of outstanding cases of the Russian cosmist, the creator of the new science of Biogeochemistry and the theory of the noosphere was connected with Ukraine. Since childhood, Vladimir Ivanovich read freely and spoke in Ukrainian. It is not surprising that in his youth, they were covered by a sufficient number of books on the history of Ukraine. Conducting a lot of time on debt service in St. Petersburg and Moscow, Vernadsky, however, found time to be in favorite Poltava region.
Vernadsky is one of the founders of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, its first president and the initiator of the creation of the first scientific library in Ukraine. The scientist made a huge contribution to the development of Ukrainian higher education, with it a number of universities were opened and many separate departments were formed. Nevertheless, the principled position did not allow him in 1918 to adopt Ukrainian citizenship from the hetman of Scoropads.
Vernadsky performed for the unity of Russia, and at the same time supported the desire of the Ukrainian intelligentsia to prevent discrimination against his culture. He sharply criticized the policy of assimilation of the Ukrainian people. With its main cultural mission, the scientist considered the development of Russian-Ukrainian scientific relations and the unification of Ukrainians who value the Russian culture. Work on crystallography and mineralogy, chemistry and soils made Vernadsky not only the greatest scientist of Russia, but also the largest magnitude of all world science.
Anton Makarenko
The pedagogical education system for the whole world created another great Ukrainian - Anton Semenovich Makarenko, although his brother Vitaly Semenovich wrote in memoirs that "despite its Ukrainian origin, Anton was 100 percent Russian." Biograpka, Professor Halling, noted that, creating works in Russian, Makarenko skillfully and harmoniously included Ukrainian quotes in them. Creating near Poltava Labor Colony for minors (and then the same schools under Kharkov, in the Moscow region, etc.), the practical implementation of their own pedagogical ideas and outstanding achievements in the issues of re-education of young people allowed Makarenko to become not only the most famous figure of Russian culture, but also to get widespread Recognition worldwide. His name was called among the number of four teachers who had a huge impact on the pedagogical worldview of the last century.
Semen Tymoshenko
The future talented warlord was born in the village of Furmanc (now the Odessa region of Ukraine). In the column, nationality has always indicated the "Ukrainian". Behind the shoulders of the twice Hero of the Soviet Union of Marshal Seeds Konstantinovich Tymoshenko - participation in the First World and Civil War, command of the Ukrainian front during the Polish campaign and the North-Western - in the Soviet-Finnish war, and, of course, the Great Patriotic War. Zhukov highly responded to Tymoshenko's talent as a commander, while, however, criticized his actions, in particular, in the Smolensk battle. In any situation with which Tymoshenko was entrusted to understand, he tried to "get to the very essence." That's just, according to General Tyulenev, the drug defense professionally was often forced to correct other errors, so it was not always possible to guarantee the success of the case.
Tymoshenko advocated the strengthening of the technical base and the fireproof of the army, for preparing the personnel for the possible severe outcome of the campaign. By the way, the serial edition of Katyusch, started literally on the eve of the war, was launched with Tymoshenko's easy hand.
To rewrite the script of the war developed by Hitler, also managed not without the help of Marshal. Zhukov wrote: "In the difficult first months of the war, Tymoshenko did a lot. He firmly led the troops, mobilizing all the forces on the reflection of the Natius of the enemy and the organization of defense. "
Boris Paton
In November last year, the 95th anniversary noted an outstanding scientist Boris Paton. He was born on the outskirts of Kiev, in Shulavka, in the family of Academician Evgenia Paton, the future director of the Institute of Electric Welding. The principles of calculations and design of flip bridges, developed by Evgeny Paton, were widely fame, and the use of welding machines created at the beginning of the war by Patonovtsy allowed tens to accelerate the manufacture of legendary T-34. The son continued the case started by the Father. Today, Boris Evgenievich is a joke called the "welder" number one in the world, and all its technical inventions are also not easy, as well as numerous ranks. Under the leadership of Paton-son, an automated pipeline laying system was developed, its invention helps to carry out welding work at sea depths and in space. He "taught" the surgeons to "weld" live fabric, first of all, bone, the development of patho is successfully used today when designing implants and prostheses. And this is not a complete list. More than four hundred inventions of Paton-son have become the property of not only domestic science, but also gained wide recognition around the world /
Here the other day was a big scandal around the identity of Ilya Muromets. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, insisting that the epic warrior originally from the Ukrainian Earth. Some media suggested that Kiev before the premiere of the first Ukrainian fantasy "Watchtower" prepares a mass spectator for the fact that Russian warriors are actually Ukrainians by origin.
I decided to check whom Ukrainian politicians in recent years ranked to the Ukrainians.
By the way, in the title picture - Prince Svyatoslav, the son of Rurikovich, Igor and Olga, who ruled first in Novgorod, and then in Kiev. Showing it to you, because, firstly, this is a collection coin in 10 hryvnia, secondly, the prince is similar here on the Zaporizhia Cossack. According to some evidence, the prince really could look like this, but on other portraits it is depicted differently.
With these Kiev princes, an eternal problem. In the question of the "championship", Moscow and Kiev will always drag out.
1. Ilya Muromets. Everything is simple here. According to the Russian version, he was born in the village of Karacharovo under Murom, the Ukrainians insist that the warrior was born in Morovsk (in antiquity was called Murom), between Kiev and Chernigov. 
2. Prince Vladimir, recently and about whom they shot a stupid cinema. Just the case when Russia with Ukraine is doomed to the eternal dispute about who the prince is "more". 
3. Fedor Dostoevsky. I would seem to happen here? But at the end of December, the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko called him a Ukrainian writer. In fact, Moskvich Dostoevsky on Father had Ukrainian roots. But there is a version that in the Ukrainian language he did not write) 
4. Chekhovwith a light hand of another former President of Ukraine, Yanukovych, several years ago, turned into a meme as "Ukrainian poet." 
5. Vladimir Mayakovsky In Kiev, they love not only for his poem "Depend Ukraine", but also for these lines:
