This paper describes the financial and economic situation of Ukraine, which since the XVIII. until early XIX. century was divided between the two empires – the Austro-Hungarian (Western Ukraine) and Russian (Central, Eastern and Southern Ukraine). Austro-Hungarian and Russian feudal landlords and the owners of large estates, manors and production, determined the structure of production in Ukraine for exporting it abroad and imports. Virtually, they had influence on the entire economy, finance, credit system in the Empire with a state support of both governments.
