On April 10, the Stebliv Lyceum named after I. S. Nechuy-Levytsky hosted the \u201cNechuyevsky Readings\u201d. They are held annually on the anniversary of the death of Ivan Semenovich Nechuy-Levytsky (November 25, 1838, Stebliv \u2013 April 2, 1918, Kyiv) as part of the educational project \u201cOutstanding Figures of Ukraine\u201d by scientists from the writer\u2019s museum together with the lyceum.<\/p>\n
The event was opened by Andriy Khavrus, head of the I. S. Nechuy-Levytsky Literary and Memorial Museum. Together with ninth-graders (Ukrainian literature teacher Kalenichenko Yana Oleksandrivna), they covered the topic of honoring the writer\u2019s memory in his native Stebliv.<\/p>\n
Next, the memoirs of Kiyanytsia Petro Antonovych, a native of Steblev, a resident of Rivne, were presented. He described a meeting with the writer when he and his brother visited the sick Ivan Semenovich in 1916. The author of the memoirs noted what a strong and indomitable spirit the old writer had, and he himself was a surprisingly simple, very modest person, as befits a Great Man. The event also featured fragments from the memoirs of Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky’s great-niece Susanna Petrovna Levitskaya, born in 1890, who worked as a teacher in the city of Uman. She described the writer’s residence in Kyiv in quite some detail. Based on her description, a fragment of Ivan Semenovich’s Kyiv apartment was recreated in the I. S. Nechuy-Levytskyi Literary and Memorial Museum in Steblev.<\/p>\n
At the end of the readings, Andriy Khavrus demonstrated photographs of the funeral of I. S. Nechuy-Levytsky, which were discovered in the archives of the Ukrainian Museum and Library in Stamford, USA, where they were found and digitized by the outstanding researcher Vasyl Lopukh, who for 10 years at his own expense researched and copied the archives’ funds dedicated to the Sich Riflemen. The funeral was filmed by an unknown photographer who served in the Sich Riflemen’s kuren of the UNR Army. The Riflemen organized a funeral procession for the Ukrainian genius I. S. Nechuy-Levytsky.<\/p>\n
Nechuy’s readings were interesting, meaningful and informative for the lyceum students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
