Klavdia Petrivna, Jerry Heil and more: Forbes named the most influential Ukrainian stars under 30

Forbes Ukraine magazine has presented its fifth "30 Under 30" list, recognizing ambitious young Ukrainians who have achieved significant heights over the past year. The ranking includes bright representatives of Ukrainian showbiz, including the mysterious singer Klavdia Petrivna (Solomiia Opryshko), Eurovision Song Contest 2024 participant Jerry Heil, theater and music group Schmalgauzen, war veteran and author of the project "Leg Dump" Oleksandr "Teren."

The longlist also features the founder of the MUR Creative Association Oleksandr Khomenko and military poet Oksana "Ksena" Rubaniak. Find out who else was included in the 30 Under 30 project here.

Forbes Ukraine noted that this year the magazine received more than 1,200 questionnaires from potential list members. "This is the largest number of questionnaires for all the years of the project's existence," the official website says. Interestingly, 19-year-old Klavdia Petrivna is the youngest among the most successful Ukrainians under the age of 30. The military and volunteers made up a third of the list, and domestic athletes and businessmen made up another third.

"Our list this year is a vivid reflection of the social contract announced earlier this year by Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Either you fight or you work". Almost a third of the list is military. But in other categories, many of the list's honorees are closely related to the Defense Forces," Forbes writes.
