After graduating from high school, he studied at Boryslav Medical School and at the same time at the clandestine Greek Catholic Theological Seminary. In 1991-1992 studied at Don Bosco Center for Philosophical and Theological Studies in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He received his doctorate from the St. Thomas Aquinas Pontifical University (Rome, Italy) in the field of theological anthropology and the foundations of moral theology of the Byzantine theological tradition. While studying in Rome, he provided pastoral care to Ukrainian Greek Catholics in Athens.

In 2001 — Rector of Lviv Theological Seminary of the Holy Spirit at UCU. In 2002–2005 —Head of the Secretariat and Personal Secretary of His Beatitude Lubomyr Husar, head of the Patriarchal Curia in Lviv. In 2009, Sviatoslav Shevchuk was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as assistant-bishop of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin eparchy in Buenos Aires (Argentina).

Volodymyr Fedorin, Editor-in-chief of «Forbes Ukraine»,  journalist, public person and co-founder of Bendukidze Free Market Center.

He was born in Odessa, graduated from M.V. Lomonosov State University of Moscow. He worked as a reporter and editor in the newspapers «Vedomosti», «SmartMoney». During 2008-2010 he held the position of Deputy Editor-in-Chief of «Forbes» magazine in Russia.

Then, until 2013 – Editor-in-chief of «Forbes Ukraine».  At that time Ukrainian Forbes was a part of big media holding UMH Group under control of Borys Lozhkin. But on August 6, 2013, after the announcement that oligarch Serhii Kurchenko, who was from Yanukovych’s team, had bought UMH, «Forbes Ukraine» wrote articles about frauds, so Volodymyr Fedorin left office before his term ended. As a result, the license was taken away and the magazine stopped its existence.

In 2015 he founded Bendukidze Free Market Center. On March 30, 2020, the return of «Forbes Ukraine» was announced, again headed by Volodymyr Fedorin.
