Meeting with Levko Lukyanenko was held at IAPM
On October 11, at the IAPM conference hall, a well-known politician, writer Levko Lukyanenko presented a collection of his works "The Way to a Renaissance" in 13 volumes.
Levko Lukyanenko is Ukrainian dissident, co-founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, politician and public figure, Hero of Ukraine, writer, laureate of the National Taras Shevchenko Prize in 2016, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Canada (1992-1993).
When communicating with students, Levko Lukyanenko recalled how he had formed a love for Ukraine and a belief in being independent. Mr. Lukyanenko said that all his books were written about love for Ukraine and the struggle for Ukraine, as well as "the transformation of Khokhs and Little Russians into Ukrainians".
Students had the opportunity to ask the writer a question and get his opinion about the situation in which our country was today and the way out of the crisis.
Levko Lukyanenko called on young people to be active:
- If we want life to change, then we have to be active. Our problem is that the older generation is brought up in slavery. A citizen will never sell his vote in elections because he feels responsible for his state. And the slave believes that nothing depends on him, and can sell his voice for a buckwheat.
And Vice-Rector for Scientific and Educational Work of IAPM Mykola Holovaty emphasized that it is extremely important for students to be interested in the history of their country and listen to the opinion of such outstanding people as Levko Lukyanenko, to take an active civil position.
At the end of the meeting, the workers and students of the Academy thanked Levko Grigorovich for an interesting story, wished creative inspiration and presented the books of the Academy's publishing house in memory. Levko Lukyanenko also handed over to the library of the educational institution a collection of works "The Way to the Renaissance" and other works.
