On November 11, 2026, marking the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation after 255 days of Russian occupation, the Department of English Philology and World Literature named after Professor Oleh Mishukov organized a roundtable discussion entitled “An Unbreakable City-Fortress: A Chronicle of Resistance, Liberation, and Everyday Heroism in a Frontline City.”
During the meeting, participants revisited numerous episodes from the past. They shared memories of their lives, feelings, and experiences, each recalling the moments that had left the deepest and most lasting impressions. The discussion was filled with both tears and joy as participants remembered the long-awaited day of Kherson’s liberation.
Two hours of heartfelt conversation passed in what seemed like an instant. It was truly meaningful to have the opportunity to come together, share thoughts and memories, and hear words of encouragement and support from one another.
We continue to believe, hope, and look forward to the day when we can meet again in our beloved Kherson!
