UKRAINIAN SCIENCE
Ukrainian science has a long and glorious history. It plays an outstanding role in
the spiritual culture of the society, and development of the national economy.
There are many research institutes which make a lot of scientific discoveries in
different fields of science: space, medicine, nuclear physics. Especially great
success has Ukraine achieved in the sphere of electric welding and metallurgy.
Much work has been done in space exploration. Ukrainian scientists have developed space systems that are up to the world standard, such as "Kosmos",
"Tsyklon", "Zenit", and "Ocean". The world famous Ukrainian scientists are
Volodymyr Vernads'kyi, Yevhen and Borys Paton, Mykola Amosov. Volodymyr
Vernads'kyi was the first President of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. He was
a prominent naturalist, mineralogist, the founder of geochemistry and
biochemistry. Borys Paton is at the head of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences at
present. For many years he headed the institute of Electronic Welding, founded by
his father. Numerous joint research centres were founded on its basis.

Reading the text “Outstanding people of Ukraine”
Outstanding people of Ukraine
In the history of humanity there have been always people whose actions
and ideas produced a great impact on the lives of other people. They have made a

education.
Volodymyr Vernadsky, for instance, was the first President of
Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. He was born in 1863. Volodymyr Vernadsky was
the first in our country to introduce the spectral method for the solution of
geochemical problems. He developed special study to the composition of the
Earth‘s crust, the ocean and the atmosphere. Vernadsky was founder of the
modern doctrine on the biosphere. His findings greatly contributed to another to
the world science.
Yevhen Paton is another great scientist whom we take pride in. He was
born in 1870 in the family of a Russian ambassador and received his education
abroad. In 1904 Paton moved to Kyiv to work and teach at the Kyiv Polytechnical
Institute. Yevhen Paton was the first to apply electro- welding in bridge
construction. Under his guidance a welded bridge was built across the Dnieper
river in Kyiv. It is now known as the Paton bridge. It is 1.5 km long. In 1930 Paton
organized the Research Institute of Electro-welding at the Academy of Sciences.

in building an automobile powered by a gasoline engine. He built this engine in his
kitchen sink. In 1903, Henry Ford established the Ford Motor Company and
introduced the Model T. Ford.
Henry Ford wanted to make a car that everyone would be able to afford. He
was able to lower the ргіce of the Model T from $850 to $360 by introducing mass
production assembly line techniques. On an assembly line each person has one
specific job and, therefore, can do it faster and more efficiently.
