He is Merited Master of Sports of the Soviet Union (1946) and Merited Coach of the Ukrainian SSR (1962), the author of the first goal for Dynamo Kyiv in the Soviet Top League.

He was born in a family of river captain-instructor Borys Kasianovych Makhynia who eventually commanded big steamboats along Dnieper.[2] Mykola was the youngest and had two brothers Andriy and Ivan and a sister Yevdokia.[2] Talent for football appeared in all brother, but only Mykola was able to reach the highest level.[2] If Andriy eventually left football and the highest achievement for Ivan was participations in games of the Kyiv championship in 1920s, Mykola passed all the levels that led to football heights.[2]
