Exhibition of paintings by cadet Victoriya NADURAK was opened at the university
Written by Відділ зв’язків з громадськістю ЛьвДУВСLviv State University of Internal Affairs hosted the opening of a personal exhibition artworks by Victoriya NADURAK, cadet of the Faculty №1. The exhibition presents 27 paintings painted with oil paints.
LvSUIA Rector Roman BLAHUTA visited the exhibition and shared his impressions of the young artist's work. “The ability to convey emotion, dynamics, mood, color, shadow and volume on canvas is a real talent that needs to be developed. The author of these works is very talented, so I wish her success and inspiration, “ said the Head of the university. He stressed that it’s extremely important that applicants improve not only in their future profession, but also develop their abilities in various fields, including creativity.
According to Victoriya NADURAK, she's been interested in painting since childhood. ”I loved to draw at school, but didn’t have the opportunity to attend an art studio to develop these skills,” recalls the cadet.
Two years ago, the girl accidentally found old oil paints and it was a turning point in her work. “Since then, I have hardly put the brush away from my hands. As soon as I have a free minute, I draw immediately,” Victoriya admits. She says that she is most inspired by nature. So in his works she tries to convey its colors, uniqueness and beauty.
“For me, painting is a special process. Creativity helps to open the soul and pour all the emotions and experiences on the canvas, ” the author says.
The girl plans not to stop on her laurels and to develop further her creative abilities. This year she has already taken two courses - in painting and architectural sketch in one of Lviv art studios.
“We didn’t go there for fame or awards. We understood that it is our duty to fight the consequences of this terrible tragedy“ said Tamara VOITENKO, the liquidator of the Chornobyl accident.
Written by Відділ зв’язків з громадськістю ЛьвДУВСTamara VOITENKO was 48 years old when the fourth power unit at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant exploded and the world was shaken by an unprecedented catastrophe. She worked in the medical unit of the Lviv Police School, was raising two children, a son and a daughter, and didn’t even suspect that the Chornobyl tragedy would radically change her life.
Now Tamara Mikhailovna is 82 years old. Despite her respectable age, she doesn’t lose optimism and enjoys to share stories about her past.
“When the reactor caught fire, we all understood – trouble. Although, probably, no one was fully aware of the scale of what happened. Now we know: radiation is a “silent killer”. And then there was almost no information, we didn't understand how to act, what to do, "Tamara Mykhailivna recalls.
In January, 1988, more than a year and a half after the tragedy, officers and cadets of the Lviv Police School were sent to the exclusion zone. Nurse Tamara VOITENKO went with them.
After the accident at the nuclear power plant, people left their homes in a hurry, having time to take with them only the most necessary things. Shops, cafes, institutions were empty… Everything where life was raging a few days ago resembled a ruin. Soon, looters began to gather in Pripyat and surrounding villages. The things left behind became easy plunder for them. Even the fact that the level of radiation around was outrageous didn’t stop them. The only ones who could repel the robbers were police patrols patrolling the exclusion zone.
Officers and cadets of the Lviv Police School also joined the fight against looting. And although more than a year has passed since the explosion at the nuclear power plant, the number of people willing to make money on somebodies trouble has not decreased.
“Our guys were on duty at the posts, went around the streets, detained looters… There was a lot of work. Some went on patrol, others returned. And almost everyone needed my help, ” Tamara VOITENKO recalls.
The nurse had to take care of the health of more than two hundred people. And, if at first everyone felt energetic and energetic, then a few days later there were alarm bells signaling a serious radiation injury.
“Hearing problems started, and then almost everyone had nosebleeds, which were very difficult to stop. Some were bothered by a rash on the body, some didn’t have low blood pressure. I had to work continuously to take care of everyone, “ says Tamara Mykhailivna.
Lviv cadets and officers patrolled the exclusion zone for more than a month, and when they returned home, they realized that Chornobyl would forever remain in their lives and memories.
“We didn’t go there for fame, awards, payments or benefits. There wasn’t even a thought about that,” Tamara Voitenko emphasizes. “We understood that it was our duty to deal with the consequences of this terrible tragedy.”
With care for the environment: why youths give up plastic and choose conscious consumption
Written by Відділ зв’язків з громадськістю ЛьвДУВСKhrystyna BEREZHANSKA, cadet of LvSUIA Faculty №3 is convinced that any changes have to start with yourself. Few years ago, the girl decided to get rid of habits that harm nature and make her life more environmentally friendly. He says that at first it wasn’t easy to abandon plastic and “turn on” a new mode of saving resources.
“Such transition must be conscious and gradual. We need to start with simple steps – try to consume less water and electricity, take care of the environment, sort garbage, throw batteries in special containers and not destroy nature” shares his own experience Khrystyna.
Sviatoslav PROTSYUK, sophomore of the Faculty №3, calls for preserving the beauty and harmony of nature. The guy is from a picturesque area of Ternopil region, the village of Vanzhuliv. “Clear air and forests around. It's so beautiful that it's breathtaking” says the young man. However, even in this ecological paradise there are troubles. After all, not everyone understands that disturbing the balance in nature is extremely easy, but to restore it is much more difficult.
He believes that we should take care of the environment every day, because the future of our planet depends on it.
Sofia OLIYARCHUK, student at the Institute of Management, Psychology and Security, a volunteer and environmental activist, shares this view. The girl advises to take small steps every day to achieve a great goal – to save nature from pollution.
In her native Zolochiv, the girl always joins city cleaning actions and tries to involve as many young people as possible in such initiative. After all, making it together is always more fun and easier to cope with even the hardest work.
It is extremely important to teach children to take care of nature from an early age, to develop their awareness and indifference to this topic, said Karolina GAPCIC, student at LvSUIA Institute of Management, Psychology and Security. The girl has many ideas on how to draw public attention to environmental issues. He says it is necessary to start from school, when the child is just forming useful habits. In addition, much depends on the example of parents and their attitude to the environment.
Karolina was lucky. Her family has always supported environmental trends and taught children to do so. So the girl realized that it is necessary to appreciate nature, to take care of every plant and tree from an early age.
Representative of an international organization “A21” conducted trainings for cadets on combating human trafficking
Written by Відділ зв’язків з громадськістю ЛьвДУВСCadets of Lviv State University of Internal Affairs learned about the most common forms of modern slavery and the peculiarities of communication with victims of human trafficking. Mechanism of interaction between subjects that implement activities in this area were also discussed.
Training for young people was conducted by the Head of Programs and Projects of the international organization “A21” Kateryna YAKOVENKO.
Addressing an audience, she remarked: “Officially, slavery has been abolished and recognized as a shameful phenomenon that has no place in modern society. But, unfortunately, it continues to exist and went underground, so it is much harder to fight. Our organization is an abolitionist movement of the XXI century and we oppose slavery and injustice”.
According to International Organization for Migration, more than 260,000 Ukrainians have suffered from modern-day slavery over the past thirty years. Nevertheless, many of our citizens are convinced that they will not fall victim to human trafficking. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Everyone can fall into the net of criminals - regardless of age, gender or social status. So, it’s extremely important to understand how to protect yourself from risky situations and how to help those who have suffered from human trafficking.
“We initiated such thematic trainings to show that the problem of modern slavery is much broader and is not limited by sexual exploitation, as most believe”, explains Oleksandra ZAKHAROVA, Head of LvSUIA Department of Actualization of Education and Practical Training.
In general, training was focused on the specifics of national and international legislation in the field of combating human trafficking. In addition, participants discussed current trends and the impact of pandemic on this phenomenon.
Kateryna YAKOVENKO also spoke about the mechanism of interaction between actors involved in combating human trafficking. Finally, she paid special attention to how best to communicate with the victims of various forms of modern slavery.
All participants received certificates of completion of the training course.

LvSUIA cadets won the contest of video clips “I’m against human trafficking”
Written by Відділ зв’язків з громадськістю ЛьвДУВСCadets of Lviv State University of Internal Affairs became the winners of the student competition “I’m against human trafficking” organized by the OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine. Results of the competition were announced at online meeting with the participants.
Video of Lviv State University of Internal Affairs won first place in nomination “Relevance and expertise in presenting the topic”. Head of the Human Security Program Lilia HRUDKO said: “In selecting the winners in this nomination, we first of all took into account the relevance of the information, as well as the understanding of the concept of human trafficking and its components”.
The authors of the video - cadets Olha-Maria ZINCHIN and Ostap LEVUS - said that in their work they decided to depict various forms of modern slavery. “It was important for us to show that very often people don't even know that they are facing a recruiter or a trafficker. After all, criminals cleverly hide their intentions behind “masks”, masterfully playing their role. So, you need to always be attentive and carefully check the information in order not to fall into the net of human traffickers”, says Olha-Maria.
Lilia HRUDKO explained why the competition jury awarded the victory to a video from LvSUIA: “The message in this video is very clear and understandable that we need to look wider, see, be informed and know what we can do to avoid becoming a victim of human trafficking. Very interesting comparisons, we sincerely thank the authors for such a quality video clip”.
