WHO I AM

Who am I and what am I doing ?

My name is Paul Prochan

I am responsible for purchasing spare parts, equipment, raw materials for big industrial plants in the city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

I deal with quality fine grounded Graphite Powders made in Ukraine and supply them for our beloved customers.

Since 2022, our company offers Graphene Nanopowders made in Ukraine.

I was born in 1987 in the industrial city of Zaporizhzhia, in the Ukranian Soviet Socialist Republic, which had been a part of the USSR.

Since 1991 it is independent Ukraine.

I am married and raise my son.

When the full-scale Russian attack started in February 2022, I returned back and worked till May 2023 for The "Zaporizhzhia Foundry and Mechanical Plant" LLC, securing the manufacturing process with all the necessary things, equipment and raw materials needed.

I am proud that in 2022, I submitted my application to the local Zaporizhzhia National University and started studying History & Archaelogy. That was my dream since the beginning of 2000s.

The theme of my diploma thesis is “The evolution of the institution of the monarchy in the modern world: the United Kingdom (1952-2022), a case study”.

My area of research is monarchy, namely – the monarchy of the United Kingdom.

I hope I will apply acquired skills and knowledge for my future career.

What the languages do I speak ?

I speak English, Russian, Ukranian and German

English – I started seriously learning it since 2017 and my first English tutor was Zimbabwean, who could speak different variants of English – British, American, African, etc. I appreciate English as a “lingua franca” of the globalized world.

Russian – I am a native speaker of Russian and speak different types of this language – so called “high style” Russian, local Zaporizhzhia variant of Russian, and other variants which is better not to use if you do not belong to the certain groups of people.

Ukranian – It is my mother tongue, though official variant of Ukrainian differs from those variants of language that are more natural to the rural regions around Zaporizhzhia.

German – This language was my “first love”. I even tried to read Goethe and Nietzsche in German. I would like to add that in my region (Zaporizhzhia) lived German colonists from the 18th century up 1940s.
