The name of the great-grandson of former serf Fedir Semerenko, Volodymyr Semerenko, was not mentioned in the world of Soviet science for a long time. In the 1920s, he was appointed the director of the Mliiv nursery garden in the former family estate of the Semerenkos nationalized by the Bolsheviks. Together with his wife Mariia, he came to the household ruined by the revolution and the war, and established there the Mliiv Gardening Institute of the all-Union value. Find out about how in the 1930s the world-known scientist Volodymyr Semerenko was arrested and executed, and how his family had to emigrate, in the fourth part, “Volodymyr” of the film “The Semerenkos” in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
