Truth about situation in Ukraine
13th of September, 2015. Lugansk People’s Republic, Novorossiya.
A festival of national cultures “The Constellation of Harmony” took place in Lugansk today as part of the celebration of the 220th anniversary of the city. Participants of the event were representatives of eight nationalities living in the Lugansk People’s Republic: national civic organization “Russian Community”, charitable foundation “Center of Georgian Culture”, Lugansk Society of the Greeks “Hellas”, Lugansk Union of the Poles “Polonez”, Armenian national and cultural Society “Krunk”, Lugansk Jewish community “Hesed Ner”, national and cultural Society “Dagestan”, and Society of the Don Cossacks. They presented their national costumes, cuisine, folk song and dances.
The event was attended by the LPR head Igor Plotnitsky, the head of Lugansk Manolis Pilavov, the Chairman of the LPR Federation of Trade Unions Oleg Akimov, the deputies of the LPR People’s Council and members of the government.
“Many people don’t understand why Lugansk region is so strong, generous and rich, why it is impossible to defeat us, and why talented people are born here. The answer is simple. We have so many cultures, so many nationalities, so many languages, which have intertwined with one another,” – Igor Plotnitsky said.
Libraries of the city have participated in the festival for the first time. They presented books about the history of Lugansk region. The LPR youth library organized an exhibition of books about the history of Lugansk, Orthodox churches in the region, prominent compatriots, as well as different national cuisines.
“For the first time, we present a collection of books in the languages of ethnic groups living in the Lugansk People’s Republic. It is not so long; we’ve just begun working on it. Our national and cultural societies help us collect materials,” – deputy chief librarian Irina Morozyuk said.
Besides, guests of the festival saw an exhibition of works by about 100 folk artists of the republic. There was also an exhibition of works by pupils of the non-school institutions of the republic, Lugansk House of Artistic and Technical Creativity, Lugansk Center for Social Rehabilitation of Disabled Children, as well as many other people.
All the participants received certificates of merits and souvenirs from the organizers of the festival.
The festival takes place in Lugansk every year on City Day. However, it was not held last year due to the hostilities. The event is aimed at supporting and developing cultural diversity of nationalities that live in the region, as well as strengthening friendly relations between them. Today’s festival was organized by the LPR Ministry of Culture, department of culture of the Lugansk city administration, and the Lugansk center of folk art.
