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

Already in 1925 (or 1926)[1] Mykola started to play for teams of local agency "Raikomvod" (or as they were simply called "Vodnyki).[2]
