Presentation of the two-volume book "Chernigiv in fire"

4 April 2024 year in the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after V.V. Tarnovsky was surprisingly warm, touching and exciting atmosphere. After all, it is at the beginning of April 2022 year, the Russian horde shamefully fled from Prydesenia. Chernihiv residents are already winners, because they heroically defended their city in a fierce battle with non-humans.

So, on the second anniversary of the complete collapse of the Russian offensive on the hero city of Chernihiv, the museum presented the two-volume book "Chernihiv in Fire" (joint project of the newspaper "Chernihivshchyna" and OK "Pivnich"), the co-authors of which are Serhiy Dzyuba, Maria Puchynets, Vitaly Nazarenko and Hryhoriy Voytok and consultants - Colonels of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valentyn Buryachenko and Vadym Mysnyk objectively, vividly described these events, immortalizing the immortal exploits of our soldiers, volunteers, doctors, rescuers and residents, who selflessly helped the Armed Forces.

The presentation was organized by Lyudmila Trikashna, a senior researcher at the Vasyl Tarnovsky Museum. And the event was opened by the acting director of the museum Maksym Blakytny, who highly appreciated such an important and talented work of the team of the newspaper "Chernihivshchyna" - the two-volume "Chernihiv in fire".

Editor of the regional newspaper "Chernihivshchyna", famous Ukrainian poet, Novelist, journalist, translator Serhii Dzyuba, who spent the entire Russian blockade and furious enemy shelling in his native city, spoke interestingly about the work on the books "Chernigov in fire" and sincerely thanked the defenders of Chernihiv and everyone, who now, in such difficult times, victoriously works for the benefit of Ukraine, for our Victory, actively helping the Armed Forces.

Sincere ovations rang out in the hall for the heroes of the defense of Chernihiv and the heroes of the books, who came to this memorable meeting. Police lieutenant colonel Oleg Flugert gave an excellent performance, who defended Chernihiv, our brave doctors of the regional hospital - head of the surgical department Stanislav Kovalenko and head of the thoracic surgery department Oleg Luzan (which are in extremely difficult conditions, under enemy fire, conducted a large number of successful operations and saved many seriously wounded soldiers and residents of Chernihiv). The participants highly appreciated the presentation and activity of the general director of the regional hospital Andrii Zhidenko.

The meeting with volunteers Yevgeny Smaga and Igor Bystrevsky was very warm and moving - each of them lost a leg in the war, however, these brave people do not regret their patriotic act at all. Both are actively involved in sports and dream of living happily ever after, blooming Ukraine.

Popular singers, doctors, favorites of Chernihiv Inna and Tetyana Chaban perfectly performed the song "The war will end" (words of Serhiy Dzyuba, music by Petr Loitra), "Song about Chernihiv" (words of Olena Tereshchenko, Sergey Dzyuba, music by Petr Loitra) and "My Ukraine" (words and music by Tetyana Chaban).
