On August 23, 2025, in Irpin, Kyiv region, an event took place that combined national symbolism, creativity, and love for Ukrainian traditions. For Ukraine’s National Flag Day, a record was set for “The Largest Soap Made from Natural Plant Ingredients in the Colors of the Blue-and-Yellow Flag.”
The unique creation measures 1 meter 81 centimeters in length, 91 centimeters in width, and weighs 115.6 kilograms. It was crafted from natural plant ingredients by the artisans of SOAP STORIES COSMETICS – Aliona Volodymyrivna Nazarenko and Maryana Tarasivna Ovcharuk.
The record was certified by Hanna Krysiuk, CEO of the Book of World Records, who emphasized that creating such a large soap is not only a display of skill but also a symbol of purity, strength, and the revival of the Ukrainian nation.
The event was attended by honored guests from around the world: Volodymyr Palamar from Estonia, Olha Semanchakova from Slovakia, and Oleksandr Lazuka from Belgium, who joined Ms. Hanna in congratulating the record holders.
Participants were also addressed by the acting head of Irpin, Anzhela Makeieva, who noted that symbolic initiatives like this highlight the unity of Ukrainians and remind everyone that the Ukrainian flag is not just a state symbol, but a sign of strength, freedom, and resilience.
This record became a vivid example of how Ukrainians combine national ideas, patriotism, and modern creativity in their artistic and innovative endeavors.
