Royal Standard of the Prince of the Hetman of Ukraine

During the existence of the Ukrainian State, he studied at the First Gymnasium in Kyiv in 1918. In 1919, Skoropadskyi, along with other members of the House of Skoropadskyi, was forced to flee from Ukraine due to the collapse of his father's regime immediately prior to the Soviet-Polish War. He subsequently lived and studied in Switzerland, and then in Germany, where his father had been granted political asylum in Munich. He moved to London in 1939.

From 1932, he assisted his father Pavlo Skoropadskyi in leading the Ukrainian monarchist movement. In 1948, after the death of his father, Skoropadskyi became the leader of the Ukrainian monarchist (Hetmanate) movement as pretender to the throne.Шаблон:Cn
