ABSTRACT
The famous Russian diplomat and statesman Nikolay Pavlovich Ihnatiev is an important figure in Bulgarian history. The talented diplomat manifested himself not only in the service of Russian interests. He made a personal significant contribution to Bulgaria's independence. Count Ihnatiev was the author of the 1878 Treaty of San Stefano, under which Bulgaria received autonomy within the Ottoman Empire and later state independence. Nikolay Ihnatiev is considered a national hero of Bulgaria for such merits. After a diplomatic career, Count Ihnatiev settled in the Ukrainian village of Krupoderyntsi, which became the last place of his eternal rest. The period of the Count's life in Ukraine is marked by his effective commercial activity. As a Russian official, Nikolay Ihnatiev had a positive and sympathetic attitude towards Ukrainism, which was reflected in his personal life. Therefore, there are reasons to consider the figure of Nikolay Ihnatiev favorable to Ukraine and his period of life in Ukraine as an asset of Ukrainian historical and cultural heritage.
