The Ostroh princes are one of the most famous families in Ukrainian history of the 14th - 17th centuries, defenders of the Orthodox faith, Ukrainian culture and freedom. For three centuries, the Ostroh family has been a symbol of a separate Ukraine-Rus, defending national identity.

The family has given us the stories of glorious men: Grand Hetman of Lithuania Konstanty Ostrozky, his son, Konstanty-Vasyl Ostrozky, a Ukrainian magnate, prominent political and cultural figure, one of the wealthiest and most influential magnates of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Princess Halshka Illivna (Yelyzaveta, Yevdokiya) Ostrozka, whom her contemporaries called the most beautiful woman of the sixteenth century, also came from the same family.

 It is often said that philanthropy is the feat of a person's life, so the Ostroh family performed many feats, acting as founders of churches and monasteries, giving money for their needs.

 The postal block “The Ostroh princely family of the 14th - 17th centuries” consists of three stamps: “Vasyl-Kostiantyn Ostrozkyi. 1526-1608”, ”Halshka (Yelyzaveta) Ostrozka. 1539-1582” and ”Kostiantyn Ostrozkyi. 1460-1530”.
