“It is a great honor to have this opportunity to present for your consideration and learning experience the memoirs of Vladimir Vladimirovitch Mouravieff-Apostol-Korobyine. I trust this book will serve to bring to life one of your ancestors and co-patriots who together with his wife Nadehzda Fedorovna Tereshchenko held Popova Sloboda in such high regard and always had in their hearts a special place for this most lovely part of Ukraine.Thanks to such learned citizens as Alexander Kapitonenko our history lives on and we come to realize how small this globe we call Earth has become. Our past is our heritage , the present is our honor and our future is awaiting us. We must remember with pride what our forefathers accomplished and build on that for the benefit of our sons and grandsons. It has been my pleasure to discover my family history, trace its roots and see the impact these honorable people have had on mankind\u2019s march through history and time. In my own small way I have tried to illuminate the past so that the future may seem clearer and brighter as well.Thank you so much for receiving this book which is dedicated to my Grandmother, Nadehzda, and in many ways we might say is also dedicated to the children of Popova Sloboda \u2013 past, present and future. I look forward to being able to personally come and visit with each and everyone of you in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to write me or communicate your ideas and hopes. The future is yours, seize the opportunities and prosper.\u00a0“<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
