We celebrate many significant dates during February. The director of our Institute together with the students of the Faculty of Philology contributed to the celebration of the International Mother Language Day and honoring Lesya Ukrainka. Here is what philologist Slobodyan Tatiana says:

“February is very fruitful for different dates: we recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of Lesya Martovych’s birth, yesterday – the International Mother Language Day, and soon we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lesya Ukrainka’s birth. It was mentioned that at one of the stylistics classes we with the girls performed creative work, characterizing the epistolary of the twentieth century. How good that then we appealed to the work of Larysa Petrovna Kosach. “

The girls edited a very interesting video, where they showed their skills and artistry.
