Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov

• Born in Kharkiv 1845
• Biologist and pathologist and a founder
• f comparative pathology and

evolutionary embryology.

• He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine

in 1908 for Phagocytosis.

• Phagocytosis in the immune system is a

major mechanism to remove pathogens and cell debris. Bacteria, dead tissue cells, and small mineral particles are all examples of objects that may be phagocytosed.

• Inspired Japanese scientist Minoru

Shirota to investigate causal relationship between bacteria and good intestinal health, which led to the study

• f pro-biotics.

67

Waldemar Haffkine – THE MAN WHO KILLED THE PLAGUE

• Born in 1860 in Berdyansk, Ukraine
• Renowned developer of life-saving

vaccines against cholera and the plague

• With the vaccine he created a revolution

in the medical science.

• In 1896 in India he helped save tens of

thousands of people who were suffering terribly from the cholera epidemic.

• While his discoveries were not recognized

in his native country, people in foreign countries are to this day grateful for his achievements

• In 1925, his Mumbai laboratory in India

became the Haffkine Institute, which still

• perates today and produces a million

doses of vaccines and sera annually.

68

Two Men from Kirovohrad and Kyiv founded the world’s most renowned basketball league – the NBA - the National Basketball Association in the US Maurice Podoloff was born in Kirovohrad

• He was president of the

American Hockey League, and from 1946 to 1963 he was president of the NBA Eddie Gottlieb was born in Kyiv,

• Managed the Philadelphia

Warriors championship basketball team

Andriy Kurkov – Best-Selling Ukrainian Author in 65 Countries

• The unprecedented success this modern

Ukrainian writer has reached in countries like

– Switzerland, Germany, – Austria, France, – Britain, South Korea, – Israel, Tunisia, – United Arabic Emirates.

• “Travelling and meeting with people helps me

better understand my readers. By the questions they ask, I am able to find out what they like, what they don’t, and what they identify with.”

• “I worked 18 years to reach this goal, and sent
• ut close to 1000 drafts to publishers all over the

world.

– What I got in return was 600 refusals. – 40 American publishers refused my work.”

• A London publisher said, ‘Dear Mr. Kurkov, we

publish only quality literature. Good luck elsewhere.’

• Luckily there was a more favorable answer from

a Swiss company in 1999. The rest is history…
