The cooperative movement is developing in Ukraine. It was restored in 1992 thanks to the help of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, the USA and Australia. The Polish Savings and Credit Unions SKOK have made a big contribution to the development of our Eastern neighbour. Today the Ukrainian credit unions have two million members. In the Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv, in the main lane, there is the Stefczyk family tomb, and the creator of the Galician credit unions Dr. Franciszek Stefczyk was buried there. Today his grave has been visited by Polish members of the Cooperative Savings and Credit Unions and by Ukrainians for whom Dr. Stefczyk is a model of cooperative movement that goes beyond all divisions.
