On November 13, 2018 professor Yuliya Yurynets and associate professor Iryna Tolkachova of constitutional and administrative law department held a lecture-debate for 2-nd year students of ER IL with video presentation on the occasion of commemoration (310 years) of the day of Baturyn tragedy.
Iryna Tolkachova emphasized that Ukrainians should honour those, who died in one of the most tragic episodes of Ukrainian history – destruction of the hetman capital Baturyn and savage reprisal over its inhabitants by Russian troops in November 1708. Yuliya Yurynets in her turn pointed out that due to the tragic events nearly 15 thousand people lost their lives.
Students made a discussion, whether it was possible to prevent the Baturyn tragedy in Ukraine.
These events give an opportunity to students to be deep in the historical past of Ukraine and make them think about formation of statehood.
