Lutsk locals celebrated 204 years from the birth day of Taras Shevchenko. Politicians, public activists and others got together near the Shevchenko monument.

Traditionally there was an action ‘Bring your own Kobzar’. More than 90 people took part in it. The modern Kobzar edition won those, who were the youngest owner, the most respected owner and the oldest book. The title ‘the oldest book’ belongs to the community of political prisoners and repressed. It is 125 years old.

More than 200 people were in the city centre showing respect to the great Ukrainian.
