Abstract
The article deals with the life and work of Felix Frantsovych Movchanovskyi, the nobleman of Polish origin. The author describes the figure of F.F. Movchanovsktyi from different positions, reveals his role, importance and contribution to the development of Oleksandrivsk (now Zaporizhia). The article states that to follow the life and work of Felix Movchanovskyi it is possible not only through his positions, titles and awards, but through his actions and deeds being deputy mayor. This post he held from late 1901 to 1911 and from 1916 to 1917. At that time all the questions concerning life, activity and development of the city did not remain without attention of the city Council and administration, and were not solved without their consent. Therefore, analyzing the documents and materials we can state that our knowledge of this man is not always reliable and not always correspond to the historical reality. There are many reasons for this fact: ideological attitudes of the time, the bias of the authors, censorship considerations and others. However, their objective description can shed light on some dark spots in the life of this figure. The author notes that F. Molchanovskyi was a man of extraordinary intelligence and hard work. He was also a gifted educator, historian, anthropologist, ethnographer, educator and social activist. He was characterized by charity and mercy, he spent not only his spare time, but also own funds for it. Activism was a matter of his life. For the posts of Deputy chairmen of the city Council F.F. Molchanovskyi in different years was a member of various committees, member and Chairman of various posts. He used his organizing talent and endless energy for the development of a small county town. The city developed in various sectors – industry, trade, urban planning, education, medicine and so on. However, his name is mostly associated with the creation Oleksandrivska School – college-khutor for deaf – in a provincial small village in the early twentieth century. It was a unique institution in the national and global pedagogical practice. And it has no analogues today
