National unity events dedicated to the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language at TNMU

Every year on November 9, Ukraine celebrates Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language. This holiday was established in 1997 by a Decree of the President of Ukraine to mark the important role of the Ukrainian language in the consolidation of Ukrainian society and is aimed at supporting the mother tongue, its study, development and promotion, and at the same time demonstrating its diversity and beauty.

According to the Orthodox calendar, it is the day of commemoration of the Rev. Nestor the Chronicler, the founder of ancient Ukrainian historiography, the first historian of Kievan Rus, a thinker, scientist, monk of the Kyiv-Pechersk monastery. Researchers believe that it is from Nestor the Chronicler that the written Ukrainian language originates.
