There is strength in unity!

On January 22, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Unity. On this day in 1919, the Act of Unification between the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic was proclaimed in Kyiv. This event marked the unification of Ukrainian lands, which for centuries were part of different countries, into a single independent state.

On January 22, 1990, one of the largest mass actions in Central and Eastern Europe took place in Ukraine – a “living chain” as a symbol of the unity of the eastern and western lands of Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of people created a continuous chain from Ivano-Frankivsk through Lviv to Kyiv.

National unity is not only a basic value of the country’s citizens, but also a prerequisite for successful resistance to external threats. Today, Ukraine continues the struggle for independence, so the unity remains a national task.

With the advisory support of the professors of the Department of Social Sciences (head – Associate Professor Olha Sikorska), students of ONMedU participated in the All-Ukrainian competition of creative works “National and Patriotic Development of Youth”, which was organized by the Institute of Political, Legal and Religious Studies in the period from October 2023 to January 2024 on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Unity of Ukraine.

Winners Diana Yaroshevska, Oleksandr Pastukhov, Evelina Repina, Mykhailo Bakayanov, Stanislava Sakhno, Kateryna Moshnyagul, Daria Slipchenko presented creative works in the form of essays to the competition.
