100 years ago, the city on the Uzh became Uzhgorod

Autumn marks 100 years since the name Uzhgorod began to be used in the official documents – when in 1919 Subcarpathian Rus became an autonomous unit of Czechoslovakia. Before that the city on the Uzh had had other names.

So, the celebration of Uzhgorod’s "100th anniversary" on the initiative of Tetyana Literati, the author of the project "Lost Uzhgorod", is one of the components of this year’s City Day.

On Thursday, September 12 – for the first time in this format – from 3 pm and until late night, interesting events related to the name "Uzhgorod" will be taking place in the historical and cultural complex "Owl’s Nest".

In particular, a fair of products with symbols of Uzhgorod will begin at 3.00 pm.

At 4.00 pm, several locations will open in the "Owl’s Nest" premises: an open lecture on the history of the city by Professor Serhiy Fedaka; literary location – "Uzhgorod in books" (moderated by Yevhenia Napuda); informal meeting "Uzhgorod Brand: Success Stories" (moderated by Fedir Shandor).

The "Uzhgorod movie night" with Oleksiy Umansky will start at 8 pm and a party from the Radio "Yeden" will start at 9 pm.

Uzhgorod in history, literary works, films, cake, newspaper, hotel, etc. – "Uzhgorod" – do not miss it in the program of the Day of our City-2019!
