Second World War

On February 20, a round table dedicated to Volodymyr Khilchevskyi, a prominent Ukrainian scientist in the field of mechanical engineering technology, professor, and World War II soldier, was held in the Rare Books Room of the Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library. The meeting was organized by the staff of the E.O. Paton Institute of Materials Science and Welding and its Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies, the State Polytechnic Museum and the KPI Scientific and Technical Library. The roundtable continued the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the scientist's birth, which our newspaper wrote about in #3-4 of January 25 this year. 

In early May, the State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute opened an exhibition of American military vehicles, which was supplemented by mini dioramas and models of aircraft that took part in the most important military operations of the anti-Hitler coalition in 1944.

Dear Polytechnicians! On these May days, we honor the older generation who had to go through the deadly fires of World War II.

Among the famous graduates, teachers and former students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, whose memory is immortalized on the territory of the university, there is probably only one, to whom not one, but two monuments have been installed at once.

The State Polytechnic Museum exhibits a variety of equipment samples, and among them - a large number of objects that are milestones, important in terms of not only a particular industry, but also technology as a whole.

Серед випускників, або колишніх студентів КПІ, які стали видатними спортсменами, найчастіше згадують футболіста Віктора Лобановського та гімнастку Ларису Латиніну. Проте, були й інші, імена яких свого часу гриміли на спортивних аренах усього світу. Одним із них є штангіст Олександр Донський.

In the middle of 1970th we, students-polytechnics, fed up with plenty of homework and laboratories, had not enough vital experience, so that is why we were admired by personalities that were bright, experienced, who gladly communicated with students in extra-curricular time.

Today we are celebrating the Memorial and Peace-making Day and The Victory Day with all the world nations.

Dear Polytechnics! Each year on June 22 our people commemorate the memory of millions of Ukrainians, whose life was taken during the Second World War.

On November 6, on the day of the 74th anniversary of the Nazis’ exile from the city of Kiev the KPI hoste the ceremony to honor the polytechnic who died during the Second World War.
