The main focus of the scientific conference was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Vasyl Holoborodko, a member of the National Union of Writers of Ukraine, laureate of the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine, who received higher education at the Luhansk National University named after Taras Shevchenko.

Conference participants watched Tetiana Deinehina’s authorial documentary film «Na Mezhi (Vasyl Holoborodko)».
Current issues of literary studies, linguistics, and methods of higher education were revealed in the reports of Andrii Hurduz, Nataliia Yuhan, Serhii Komarov, Yelyzaveta Isakova, and Svitlana Dvorianchykova.
