Attractions of Velykyi Hlybochok

The Yaroslav and Slava Stetsko People's Historical and Memorial Museum was opened in 2002 in the village of Velykyi Hlybochok in the oldest (1773) building of the village - the former parish house, in which in 1912 the future ideologist of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, leader of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Peoples, Prime Minister of the Ukrainian State Government Yaroslav Stetsko was born.

The organizer and founder of the museum is Myron Sahaydak, who became interested in Stetsko's biography after meeting his uncle Vasyl when he returned from Siberia, and after meeting Slava Stetsko in 1991, when she came to visit her husband's native village.

The museum's exposition reflects the life and struggle of Yaroslav Stetsko himself, as well as his wife and long-time associate - Slava Stetsko. The museum exhibits paint a detailed picture of Yaroslav Stetsko's childhood - photographs of the Stetsko family home, Yaroslav's father-priest and mother, his first nanny, brother and sister, and high school friends. The exhibition includes more than a hundred original exhibits related to the life and activities of the Stetskos, in particular - personal belongings of Mr. Yaroslav, which were transferred by Slava Stetsko from Munich, and those that Myron Sahaydak himself collected from everywhere, many interesting photographs, letters, and documents.

The main exhibit of the museum is Yaroslav Stetsko's embroidered shirt, which his wife Slava Stetsko embroidered for him in 1944 in Munich in order to support his wounded husband.

In 2018, the Yaroslav and Slava Stetsko People's Historical and Memorial Museum in the village of Velykyi Hlybochok became part of the museum complex "Museum of the National Liberation Struggle of the Ternopil Region".
