List of Ukrainian Nobel laureates and nominees

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to Mankind." The Center for Civil Liberties is the only Noble prize laureate (2022) representing Ukraine as a state, while several others are claimed to have been nominees. Also there were several laureates and nominees who were born or worked in Ukraine before it gained independence in 1991, most of them are not considered to be Ukrainian representatives.
