Anna Sten
Ukrainian-born Hollywood actress Anna Sten (1908 – 1993) rose from Kyiv’s theatre scene and early Soviet silents to German talkies before Samuel Goldwyn brought her to the United States, promoting her as “the next Greta Garbo.” Notable films include Nana (1934), We Live Again (1934) and The Wedding Night (1935). Her cosmopolitan career and star-making myth embody the transnational currents of 1930s cinema.

Ivan Zavadsky
Born in 1780 near Hadyach in Poltava Oblast. He was a circumnavigator and polar explorer, cartographer, hydrographer, and collector of natural history collections. During 1819–1821, he served as deputy captain on the warship Vostok (Russian: Шкхид), which made a circumnavigation of the Southern Ocean in search of a route to the South Pole. This expedition was one of the first to discover Antarctica and the islands near it: the South Sandwich Islands, Alexander I, and Peter I. Since the days of Soviet historiography, Ivan Zavadovsky has been called a Russian, as has Lysyansky. Ivan Zavadovsky. Photo from open sources. One volcanic island was named in honor of Zavadovsky.
