Stanisław Kostka Starowieyski (1895-1941) was a reserve artillery captain of the Polish Armed Forces, a participant (1918-1920) to the Polish-Ukrainian War and the Polish-Soviet War, a church, social and charitable activist and a papal chamberlain.

Jesuit College in Khyriv, formerly Jesuit College in Chyrów, was a purpose-built Polish secondary boys college, owned by the Society of Jesus, in the occupied Austro-Hungarian partition of Poland in the late 19th century. The vast estate, comprising the college, has the rare distinction of having existed in at least five separate national Jurisdictions in the last century and a half. From 1918 the college was in independent Poland until 1939 when it ceased to exist as an institution, although not as an asset, due to foreign invasions, first by the Red Army till 1941, then by the German Wehrmacht until 1943, before being re-taken by the Soviet Union. Since 1944 the site and its entire estate was in the USSR and since 1991 has been in present-day Ukraine.
