Brief Biography

Anatolii Nykyforovych Nahrebetskyi was born on May 9, 1945, in the village of Plebanyvka (Shargorod district, Vinnytsia region).
From a young age he worked in the field of education: after finishing school (1961), he began his teaching career — first as a senior pioneer leader, later as a teacher
of physics, mathematics, as well as music and singing in local schools.

Later in his professional career, he held elected positions, which allowed him to systematically work with archival materials, including documents
that had long been difficult to access. This became one of the foundations of his many years of local history and research work.
