Documents from Ukrainian archives that have not been previously known (six of seven archives are being published the first time) have been introduced to the scientific circulation. In particular, the unique document - "Request" written by F. Stravinsky, of transferring it from University of Novorossiysk (Odessa) to Kiev University of St. Volodymyr. Conclusions. Ukrainian archives reveal new information about family and friends of the singer, specify the years of study at Nizhyn Law School and at Novorossiysk University, and demonstrate the success of future artist both in studying and extracurricular activities. Theodore Stravinsky’s school years in Nizhyn, Kiev, Odessa (from 1858 to 1869) occupy a significant place in his artistic life-creation. F.Stravinsky‘s youth life period is closely connected to Ukraine and was strategically important for the formation of his personality as an artist.
