According to the rector of the National Technical University “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” Anatoliy Melnychenko, the exhibition “From the Flame We Were Born”, which opened on January 23 this year at the university's State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton, is another reason to remember those students and teachers of KPI who are no longer with us because of the insidious war. “This exhibition is an inspiration for young people, students, teachers, a lesson in courage for many Kyiv residents and guests of our city,” he emphasized at the opening ceremony. 

On the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, December 6, 2024, the Borys Paton State Polytechnic Museum of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the grand opening of a unique exhibition of Ukrainian documentary photographer and military man Vitalii Sokur.

It was much lighter than its predecessor and had more powerful engines.
