A Note from the Library
We were very pleased to join this project, as it is a vital part of our history dating back to the times of the Hetmanate. It is also a part of our present and ourselves, as we are the descendants of this rich history, and Petro Mohyla is one of those figures whose names symbolize the rebirth of a nation.
