Representative of the ancient Belarusian noble family Voinilovich, Belarusian and Polish political and public figure of the late XIX - early XX centuries, initiator of the construction of the Church of St. Simon and Elena in Minsk.
Being a member and even a founder of many social and political movements, Voynilovich always adhered to the idea of creating a united, independent Belarus, cooperating with Poland. Of course, he opposed the division of Belarusian territories between Poles and Bolsheviks. The October coup and subsequent years turned out to be extremely difficult for the gentry. Savichi - his family home - were destroyed, all wealth and documents were destroyed. Edward Voynilovich didn’t look at how his familiar Belarus was dying and went to Bydgoszcz, Poland. Seeing no point in further struggle, the active emigrant built a home for orphans and street children and supported it for the rest of his life.
