Recently, in Kyiv, in the “City Arsenal” (Kyiv city), a large-scale annual cultural and educational event “Arsenal of Ideas. Different Together” was held, within the framework of which leading public organizations and museums presented to the visitors their innovations in the field of popularization of Ukrainian history, traditions and culture.

Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of History and Archaeology of Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University became a participant in the event, as part of a joint project with the Local Lore Museum of the Novoydarsk Village Council (director – Maryna Provotorova) “This is your Luhansk region! Folk costume as a cultural code”.

Known for his local lore explorations, the teacher introduced visitors to the thematic exposition to the origin and traditions of creating embroidered clothes in the Luhansk region. It should be noted that the exhibition caused a significant resonance. Among those who were interested in its content were representatives of the Luhansk authorities, the public sector, the military, and children from Kyiv schools.

Another participant in the event was Yehor Brailian, a candidate of historical sciences, associate professor of the Department of History and Archaeology, who spoke at a panel discussion on the topic of propaganda against teenagers in the Soviet Union and the Third Reich. The speaker spoke about the historical context of the emergence of Nazi Germany and the USSR, why totalitarian regimes were formed there. The historian also noted the peculiarities of such youth organizations as the Hitler Youth and the Komsomol. In the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the topic of the history of propaganda is extremely relevant, taking into account the current realities of the information space.
