“Universities” is a narrative in which each episode from Poplavskyi’s life serves as a basis for reflections on how the experiences shaped his character, values, and life path. The past is not only remembered but also analyzed and turned into important authorial conclusions.

The annotation states that the book is a heartfelt confession of a person who has traveled from a village boy from Mechyslavka to the “singing rector” and a successful leader of the Ukrainian education industry. The reader will learn about childhood adventures, grandfather’s wisdom, youth in the capital, initial steps in the cultural and educational sphere, the formation of a creative personality, as well as the birth of the phenomenon of Poplavskyi – rector, philanthropist, artist, businessman, politician, media figure, and mentor to thousands of students.

Quote from the presentation

“This is a book about failures and victories, creative solutions and management battles, PR technologies and large national projects that united the country under the motto: ‘Let’s hold together the Ukrainian wave!’ Each chapter is a separate ‘university’ of life. I am grateful to fate for giving me such a thorny, complex, and very bright path. I have received more from life than I dreamed,”

The author emphasized that the publication teaches strategic thinking, to implement ideas, to remember one’s roots, and to be proud of Ukrainian identity. The book contains recipes for success in business, secrets of brand creation, family stories, and a modern view of the world of media and social networks.

Poplavskyi also noted that the most successful project of his life is the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts: “A teacher is strong by his students. I believe they will continue national projects and promote everything Ukrainian. A grand vision is worthless without great people. I hope that the book ‘UNIVERSITIES’ by MYKHAILO POPLAVSKYI, which will outlive its founder, will serve as a guideline in difficult life situations for both students and for the future rector of the creative, bohemian University of Culture.”

The presentation of the book “Universities” was a significant event in the cultural life of Ukraine, as it reflects not only the personal experiences of the author but also the overall evolution of Ukrainian education and culture. Poplavskyi, who has rich experience in this field, encourages youth to pursue their goals, to learn, and to remember their roots. The book, written in an informal style, can be a useful resource for both students and teachers, as it contains valuable lessons and principles that can be helpful in difficult life situations.
