“Patronage in Ukraine”
On the 26th of January in the village of Pidmyhaylya Public Organization “Alternative Dialogue” held the round table “Patronage in Ukraine”, in which participated both the members of the public organization and young people of the village.
The event was confined to the 150th anniversary of the death of Platon Simirenko (1821-1863), a Ukrainian sugar producer, patron of Ukrainian culture. He was one of the leaders of the firm “Brothers Yakhnenko and Simirenko”. In June 1859, Simirenko met with Taras Shevchenko, and singled out 1100 rubles to the poet for the edition of “Kobzar”. When T. Shevchenko, in the edition of “Kobzar” in 1860 noted in accordance with the Russian publishing etiquette that it was carried out “at the expense of Plato Simirenko,” the grantor was sincerely indignant at such, from his point of view, indelicacy.
Also, the round table participants mentioned other events in the history that took place on January 26th. In particular, in Kiev in 1919, the Directory announced a state of war on the entire territory of Ukraine and approved the law on obligatory sending of 11 copies of all publications to county commissars by printing houses, lithographs, metallographies and other institutions. This law practically provided the performance of the Main Book Chamber.
In the same year in Kharkiv, the decree on the Supreme Military Inspection was passed by the Temporary Workers ‘and Peasants’ Government of Ukraine, and the All-Ukrainian Theater Committee (VUTEKOM) was formed in the All-Ukrainian Council of Arts.
Also on Jan. 26, 1919, in Kharkiv, a program article was published by one of the leaders of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) I.Kulyk, devoted to the prospects of the development of Soviet culture.
January 26, 1993 Ministry of Justice of Ukraine registered the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists.
