I took one look at the "Life of the Ukrainian Language Department" and couldn't stop myself. It contains a lot of newspaper clippings, programs, and, most interestingly, photographs. We always look at "how it was back then" with admiration.

The Department of the Ukrainian Language dates back to the fall of 1920, when permission was granted to open the departments of Jewish and Ukrainian languages at the Kherson Institute of Public Education (KhINO). Initially, it was the Department of Ukrainian and Russian Languages and Literature. Later, the teachers of Russian and Ukrainian languages and literature were divided into two different departments. At various times, the department was headed by Nechayev I.D., Nagin Y.D., Pryimak I.I., Pentiliuk M.I., Haletova A.G., Nagina V.O., Haiduchenko H.M., and today the head of the Ukrainian language department is Klymovych S.M.
