May 24, 2023, marked the 142nd anniversary of the birth of my great-grandfather, President of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (1930–1946) Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Bogomolets (1881–1946).

On the anniversary of the birth of Academician Oleksandr Bogomolets, I would like to share some unknown facts about his life and the history of our family.
