August 19, 2025, is a day that will go down in the history of Ukrainian gastronomy and cultural heritage. On this day, in Mykolaiv, Stryi District, Lviv region, a Ukrainian record was set in the “Size” category.
At the museum of Ulyana Kravchenko and Mykola Ustiyanovych, a unique Krasivskyi Independence Pie was created, impressing everyone with its scale:
- Length: 35.6 meters
- Weight: 242 kg
- Number of pieces: 96
The record was officially certified by Nadiya and Ivan Lozan, representatives of the Book of World Records. They conducted measurements, verified compliance with the criteria, and presented diplomas to all those involved in setting the record.
The Krasivskyi pie is an ancient dish passed down through generations and is a symbol of hospitality and prosperity. It is prepared from rye dough with a special filling of potatoes, buckwheat, and white cheese. The tradition is connected with the village of Krasiv and is mentioned in the memoirs of lawyer and UGA centurion Stepan Shukhevych.
Today, the Krasivskyi pie has become not only a dish but also a representation of Ukrainian history, culture, and the freedom of the people.
