“There was a time when I just did not want to walk the streets of Uzhgorod” – the chief architect of the regional center Petro Szarvas, who is convinced that the city can still be saved and its historical face can be preserved, says.
Uzhgorod school №3 recently became the object of Internet memes in social networks. Thanks to the blogger Serhiy Denisenko, the entire Ukraine got to know that, as it turns out, the “junta” in the west of our country is actively repairing a school… with Russian language of teaching. Jokes aside, it was a really serious work done in the school and on September 1, children came to already renovated school. It was made possible due to the cooperation of Transcarpathia with Czech Vysocina region.
According to the headmistress of the school №3 Svitlana Fesenko, it was last year when the school was included to the program of the Ukraine-Czech Charitable Foundation “Viza”. Then, at expense of the Foundation and the regional council, they renovated one wing of the school, which was actually falling apart and had long been closed. Also one of the classrooms was furnished with modern furniture, equipment, stands and more. The medical office and bathroom were renovated. This year, they began repairing the facade, replacing the roof and installing lighting. Also, the old inscription: Jubilejní škola Masarykova 1932 was restored on the wall of the school. The school was built in 1932, funded by the Czechoslovak government, as a public school where children of both Uzhgorod residents and Czech officials were studying. From 1935 to 1938, it was a high school named after TG Masaryk and was popularly called “Masaryk’s school.” The work on repairing the institution will continue next year.

First, a few words about the author. Transcarpathian Arkadiy Shynshynov is known to many of his fellow readers. First of all, to Facebook users. It is there where Arkadiy’s interesting stories first gather “likes” and “reposts”, and then go on living on their own, reprinted by various media, blogs and entertainment aggregators.
Three weeks ago, the National Bank received a new head. Valeria Gontareva replaced Stepan Kubiv, who had lasted just over three months. It is still too early to talk about any specific results of the first female head of the NBU. Expert opinions about her activities differ. Some consider Gontareva extremely professional financier because she has more than 20 years of experience in the financial and banking sectors. Others accuse her of collaboration with Serhiy Kurchenko and remind that while being an investment banker she was engaged in drafting agreements to attract financing for «Roshen» business development in Russia.
