Donbass is written about in geography,

That Donbass is a land of coal and metal.

Right. But for full biography

It's very dry, very little.

It seems there is a song about Donbass,

Waste heaps and copra are sung.

That's right, there are some. I agree.

These are just external signs.

Well, where are the people? They are not visible...

That's why I'm sad and offended...

Donbass is famous people who glorified our region beyond its borders.

Be a patriot of the country,
The glorious path is paved with legend!
Don't forget history
The victories are glorious, big.
And be able to understand for yourself -
Who should we take as an example for life?

Teacher. In our region, in the Donetsk region, many people were born who later became famous throughout the world. They have made a huge contribution to the development of many industries. They were awarded high awards for their high achievements in various fields. Let's name some of them.

Microphone method Tell us about your fellow countryman.

Sergey Shemuk

In August 1935, in one shift at the mine, Alexey Stakhanov managed to extract 102 tons of coal, with a norm of 7 tons. 75 years later, in the city of Dzerzhinsk, Donetsk region, his record was broken by almost double the margin. The author of the record is the famous miner of the Novodzerzhinsk mine Sergei Shemuk, who produced 170 tons of coal in one shift. In one working day, he exceeded the plan for the entire site, which usually employs about 20 people, and at the same time exceeded the production plan by 2023%. Sergey Shemuk is the youngest honored miner of Ukraine, as well as a Hero of Ukraine, a full holder of the “Miner’s Glory” and “Miner’s Valor” badges.

Most strong man

Dmitry Khaladzhi

Donetsk hero Dmitry Khaladzhi is one of the most strong people planet and the only person in Ukraine capable of setting five records in one hour. Khalaji can lift five pounds with one hand, performs a “cross” with weights on his little fingers and presses two weights in one hand. Khalaji's signature trick is to tie several 20-centimeter nails in a knot in a minute. One of Dmitry’s famous feats is breaking the record of the ancient Greek athlete Bibon, who lifted a projectile weighing almost 144 kg with one hand. The shell has survived to this day, but perhaps only Dmitry can lift it. Khalaji made his own projectile weighing 152 kg and lifted it with one hand, twice - the second time for those who did not have time to take a photo.

Bird Man

Sergey Bubka

One of the most famous track and field athletes in the world, Sergei Bubka, was born in Voroshilovgrad (now Lugansk), but made his sports career in Donetsk and thereby adorned the constellation of the Donetsk sports galaxy. The harmonious development of strength, speed and technique turned Sergei into a champion who set record after record throughout his entire sports career. Sergei set 35 world records, and his achievements were in high jump (6 m 14 cm in an open stadium and 6 m 15 cm in a hall).

Solovyanenko Anatoly Borisovich (09.25.1932) - singer, People's Artist of the USSR (1975), laureate of the Lenin Prize (1980). Since 1965 Worked at the Ukrainian Opera and Ballet Theater.

Kobzon Joseph Davidovich (09/11/1937) was born in the city of Chasov Yar, Donetsk region, People's Artist of the USSR (1987), People's Artist of Ukraine (1991).

The list of our famous fellow countrymen can be continued endlessly. I hope that your names will one day glorify our Donetsk region. There are many, many more names that can be listed of people who brought glory to the Donetsk region and glorified it throughout the centuries. These are the ones you already know:

Beregovoy Georgy – pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR

Solovyanenko Anatoly - singer, People's Artist of the USSR

Ponomarev Ruslan – World Chess Champion

Kobzon Joseph - singer, People's Artist of the USSR

Prokofiev Sergei – composer

Bykov Leonid – actor, director

Pisarev Vadim – People's Artist of Ukraine

Martynov Evgeniy – composer, singer

Sosyura Vladimir - poet

Stus Vasily - poet, dissident

Quiet Oleksa – human rights activist, dissident, public figure

Filaret – Patriarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate

We must also name those who brought glory not only to Donbass; metallurgist Makar Mazai; tractor driver Pasha Angelina and many others.

Lesson summary. Teacher: Yes, Donbass is our homeland. We love her, we are proud of her. Maybe, poetic word more able to sing and glorify Donbass. The poetry of Vladimir Sosyura, our fellow countryman, who was born here, reflects the feelings of each of us, and we say with an exciting heart: “Donetsk region, you are the land of my ancestors, and my land. I feel your warmth, your care. I am your child, I am combined with you."

Teacher: Outstanding people surround us everywhere. These are the workers of our city

Yes! Our land is truly rich in talents. Each of you carries within you a grain of talent from your native Donbass land. You have a great bright future ahead of you. And what it will be like depends only on you. Go for it! Be brave and persistent, conquer the peaks and create glorious stories in our region. You guys are the heirs of our city: its history, its culture, all those riches that were created by the hands of older generations. You must multiply its traditions, work in its fields, write poems and songs about it.

People should not forget their history, their roots. The memory should be kept in everyone's heart.

Historically, the Ukrainian people have always been creative, loved to sing and dance, invent poems and songs, myths and legends. Therefore, for many centuries, truly great and talented people have worked in all corners of Ukraine.

Ukrainian literature is phenomenal and unusual in its essence. Famous Ukrainian writers described each historical stage metaphorically and topically. That's why they look at us through the lines of yellowed sheets of paper. real characters. And as we delve deeper into the narrative, we begin to understand what worries the author, inspires, frightens and encourages. It is quite possible to learn history from the masterpieces of Ukrainian literature - events are described so truthfully and sometimes painfully.

Who are all these geniuses of the pen who penetrate the soul with words and make us laugh and cry with them? What are their names and what did they do? How did they achieve success and did they find it at all? Or maybe they never learned that their creations brought them eternal fame and veneration, forever inscribing their name in the classics of Ukrainian literature?

Unfortunately, not all Ukrainian writers were able to enter the world literary arena. Many masterpieces have never been in the hands of the Germans, Americans, or British. Hundreds of wonderful books did not receive their well-deserved awards in literary competitions France or Germany. But they are really worth reading and understanding.

And although hundreds of talented people have written on the “nightingale language,” perhaps it’s worth starting with a unique and phenomenal woman. This brilliant poetess, whose lines express a storm of emotions, and whose poems remain deep in the heart. And her name is Lesya Ukrainka.

Larisa Petrovna Kosach-Kvitka

Lesya, being a weak and small woman, showed incredible fortitude and courage, becoming an example to be followed by millions of people. The poetess was born in 1871 into the noble family of the famous writer O. Pchilka. At birth, the girl was given the name Larisa, and her real name there was Kosach-Kvitka.

Since childhood, suffering from a terrible disease - bone tuberculosis - Lesya Ukrainka was bedridden almost all the time. Lived in the South. The beneficial influence of the mother and passion for books (especially the master of Ukrainian literature - Taras Shevchenko) bore fruit.

From a young age, the girl began to create and publish in various newspapers. Like many famous Ukrainian writers, in her works Larisa adhered to the sentiments and traditions of T. G. Shevchenko, creating several cycles of lyrical and philosophical poems.

About Lesya's work

Intrigued by magical mythology and world history, Lesya devoted many books to this topic. Most of all she liked novels about Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, about humanism and human qualities, about the fight against despotism and evil, as well as mystical stories about the undead and nature of Western Ukraine.

It should be noted that Lesya Ukrainka was a polyglot and knew more than ten languages. This gave her the opportunity to make high-quality literary translations of the works of Hugo, Shakespeare, Byron, Homer, Heine and Mickiewicz.

The most famous works that everyone is recommended to read are “The Forest Song”, “Possessed”, “Cassandra”, “The Stone Lord” and “Songs about Freedom”.

Marko Vovchok

Among the famous writers of Ukraine there was another extraordinary woman. Many called her the Ukrainian George Sand - just as her patron Panteleimon Kulish dreamed. It was he who became her first assistant and editor, giving her the first impetus to develop her potential.

Woman with a fiery heart

Marko Vovchok was a fatal woman. As a child, her mother sent her to a private boarding school, away from her father’s bad influence, then to Orel to live with a rich aunt. There the endless love cycles began. Marko Vovchok - Maria Vilinskaya - was very beautiful girl, so it’s not surprising that crowds of gentlemen revolved around her all her life.

Among these gentlemen were famous writers, whose names are familiar to us. Even though she tied the knot (as she later admitted, not for love) with Opanas Markovich, her husband could not do anything with the attractive energy of this young lady. Turgenev, Kostomarov and Taras Shevchenko fell at her feet. And everyone wanted to become her teacher and patron.

"Marusya"

The most famous work Marco Vovchok presents the story “Marusya” about a girl who gave her life to help the Cossacks. The creation impressed readers and critics so much that Maria was awarded an honorary award from the French Academy.

Men in Ukrainian literature

The creativity of Ukrainian writers was also under the auspices of talented men. One of them was Pavel Gubenko. Readers know him under the pseudonym Ostap Cherry. His satirical works made readers laugh more than once. Unfortunately, this man, who smiles at us from newspaper pages and literature textbooks, had few reasons for joy in his life.

Pavel Gubenko

Being a political prisoner, Pavel Gubenko honestly served his required 10 years in a forced labor camp. He did not abandon creativity, and when his stern superiors instructed him to write a series of stories from the lives of prisoners, even there he could not resist irony!

The writer's life path

But life put everything in its place. The one who previously accused Ostap Vishnya himself ended up in the dock and became an “enemy of the people.” And the Ukrainian author returned home ten years later and continued doing what he loved.

But these long years in correctional camps left a terrible imprint on Pavel Gubenko’s condition. Even after the war, returning to the already free Kyiv, he still could not forget the terrible episodes. Most likely, the endless inner struggles of a man who always smiled and never cried led to his tragic death from a heart attack at the age of 66.

Ivan Drach

A short excursion into the work of Ukrainian writers ends with Ivan Drach. Many modern authors still turn to this master of (self-)irony, witty words and humor for advice.

Life story of a genius

Mine creative path Ivan Fedorovich Drach began, while still a seventh grader, with a poem eagerly published in a local newspaper. As soon as the writer graduated from high school, he began teaching Russian language and literature in a rural school. After the army, Ivan entered the philological department of Kyiv University, which he never graduated from. And all because a talented student will be offered a job in a newspaper, and then, after the course, the writer will receive the specialty of film playwright in Moscow. Returning to Kyiv, Ivan Fedorovich Drach begins working at the famous film studio named after A. Dovzhenko.

Over more than 30 years of creative activity, a huge number of collections of poems, translations, articles and even film stories have been published from the pen of Ivan Drach. His works have been translated and published in dozens of countries and appreciated throughout the world.

An eventful life tempered the writer’s character, fostering in him an active civic position and a unique temperament. The works of Ivan Fedorovich express the sentiments of the sixties and children of war, thirsting for change and praising the achievements of human thought.

What's better to read?

It is better to start getting acquainted with the work of Ivan Drach with the poem “Pero”. It is this that is the credo of life and conveys the leitmotifs that permeate the entire work of the brilliant poet and writer.

These famous Ukrainian writers made an invaluable contribution to the domestic and world literature. Decades later, their works convey to us current thoughts, teach and help in various life situations. The work of Ukrainian writers has enormous literary and moral value, is perfect for teenagers and adults and will bring pleasure from reading.

Each of the Ukrainian authors is unique in their own way, and their unusual individual style will help you recognize your favorite writer from the first lines. Such a writer’s “flower garden” makes Ukrainian literature truly extraordinary, rich and interesting.
