The exhibition was available for inspection from October 16 to 20.
On the initiative of the Department of Culture, Nationalities and Religions of the Lviv OVA, as part of the events dedicated to the 81st anniversary of the creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a mobile exhibition of the Lviv Historical Museum “Army of the Invincibles” was exhibited in the main building of the National University “Lviv Polytechnic”.
The exhibition, authored and curated by Lyuba Koval, a senior researcher at the Lviv Historical Museum, consists of fifteen thematic banners. It consistently introduces the history of creation, structure and activities of the UPA. The project is designed to give visitors an understanding of the struggle of Ukrainians over the past two centuries: from the time of the UPA to the modern armed confrontation of Ukraine in the war with Russia.
Teachers and students looked at the stands with interest: photos of commanders and soldiers, copies of documents, interesting and accessible information.
“It is very good that such cooperation between our cultural institutions and educational institutions is being initiated and implemented. Its result is measures that are extremely necessary for the national-patriotic education of Ukrainian schoolchildren and students. We must tell them about the glorious pages of our struggle, about outstanding figures of the national liberation movement, about the soldiers of the OUN-UPA. We must motivate both children and young people to study and know their history and in this way nurture in them pride for their state and readiness to defend it,” said the director of the Department for Culture, Nationalities and Religions of LOVA Iryna Gavryliuk.
