Cadets of the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs attended thematic events and cultural-educational activities dedicated to the 248th anniversary of Dnipro’s founding.
Cadets from the Faculty of Pre-Trial Investigation Specialists of the National Police of Ukraine visited the D. Yavornytsky Memorial House-Museum. They became familiar with the historian’s scholarly works, elements of his daily life, decor, and even his personal belongings and hobbies. The cadets saw the office where Yavornytsky worked, the living room where he hosted guests, and the dining room where his family gathered daily.
At the D. Yavornytsky Dnipropetrovsk Historical Museum, the cadets viewed the exhibition “Steppe: Meeting of Civilizations.” This exhibit is dedicated to the interaction between nomadic and sedentary peoples, who left a significant mark on the cultural and historical life of the region. The cadets explored archaeological artifacts, reconstructions of Polovtsian shrines, and Slavic dwellings.
The future law enforcement officers also visited the Dnipropetrovsk branch of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. They attended the exhibition “The Magic Colors of Dnipro,” dedicated to City Day. The exhibition showcases the current state of Ukrainian visual arts, highlighting the richness and diversity of creative endeavors and the personalities of the artists – from the classical school of realism to abstract art.
The cadets also saw more than 370 artifacts from the collection of Ukrainian researcher, historian, ethnographer, and stavrographer Viktor Veklenko as part of the exhibition “Dukachy and Jewelry: Left Bank.” The exhibition features a variety of decorative and applied art items, such as dukachy (traditional medallions), pendants, crosses, necklaces, medallions, and old photographs from the Chernihiv, Poltava, and Left Bank regions of Kyiv and Cherkasy oblasts.
According to the cadets, immersing themselves in the cultural life of Dnipro has allowed them to better understand its history, traditions, and modern identity.
