On November 14, the Department of Foreign Languages hosted a unique session with Irish writer, historian, and volunteer John Connors.

Our translation students worked with real testimonies from the period of the University’s occupation: they performed consecutive interpreting, visited key historical locations, and contributed to the creation of translated texts for John Connors’ upcoming documentary book.

Eyewitness Halyna Chyhryna and Museum Director Olha Pidlisna shared valuable facts and presented unique artifacts that preserve the memory of those tragic days.

 “I am truly moved. I now understand the real meaning of the words ‘Glory to the Heroes’,” — said John Connors.

The session continues, and we proudly observe the professional growth of our philology students. They help preserve living history and contribute to the future publication of a book about this difficult yet crucial period in the history of the State Tax University.

Their work is not just translation — it is a responsible mission to bring truth to the world.
