The online event took place on the 25th of February 2021 for the freshmen of BSMU college under the guidance of group supervisor K.P. Kupchanko and library staff Tulevska S.O., and Kukhliy I.V.

The students lively and zealously recited the best poems about the language, Ukraine, love, the role of the poet and auto-biographical poems, thus revealing the deep meaning of the poems.
In modern Ukrainian tradition Lesya Ukrainka is on the list of the most famous women in the past and today’s Ukraine, and she is a source of inspiration for Ukrainians because the poet saw Ukrainian literature in a European context, but with her own clear self-identification.
Lesya Ukrainka herself said to Mavka from the “Wood’s Song”: “I am alive, I will live forever. I have in my heart something that does not die…”.
On 16.02.21, to the Day of Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, library staff together with the sophomores of Medical Department 2, led by curators of the groups: Associate Professor of Histology, Cytology and Embryology Penteleichuk N.P. and assistant Andruschak L.A. held an online hour of memory “Heavenly Hundred in memory forever”.
The participants were told about the background of the Revolution of Dignity and got acquainted with the final and the most tragic stage of the Revolution, the events that took place in Kyiv on the 18-20 of February, when the authorities, instead of settling the situation peacefully, gave the criminal order to use weapons and make “cleanup” of Maidan.
Thousands of wounded and about a hundred people were killed by special forces. Among them were people of different faiths and professions. Each of them had his own family, friends, hobbies and preferences. But the call of their souls at that time called them to fight for a free, democratic, honest Ukraine. Each of them was a real patriot of his country, supported its fate, striving for the good and a better future. For the freedom of their children and the will of millions of Ukrainians the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred died. Among the dead there are also our fellow countrymen, namely Alexander Scherbanyuk and Vasily Aksenin, who were posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine with the award of the Order “Gold Star”.
Students: Victoria Tsaryuk, Krystyna Makovey, Olena Denezhko, Liana Moisej prepared and inspirationally recited Maidan poetry.
The event was prepared and held by Svitlana Tulevska and Iryna Kuhlij.

Ukrainian students are the driving force of the revolution. Ukrainian students were not only organizational forces and participants in the revolutionary events, but forced the entire society to change.
During the tragic events of February 18-20, 2014, 48 people were killed and fatally injured in the center of the capital. Among the dead were very young people, almost the same age as those present, who were called Heavenly Angels. Watching the video “The Heavenly Hundred. Young Angels” and multimedia presentation of the documentary events on the Maidan provoked emotions and feelings of the audience.
