An important scientific and practical seminar dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage in wartime was held at the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve "Pereyaslav." Public figure Nikolai Tomenko shared this information on Facebook reported.

“The challenges of protecting, conserving, and restoring historical and cultural heritage during a state of war are issues that cannot be overlooked,” he emphasized.

The event was attended by scholars from the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (KNUCA), led by Rector Alexey Dneprov. The delegation visited the reserve and learned about the research, restoration, and educational projects being implemented there.
