Viktor Yanukovich: Taras Shevchenko's lesson - a lesson of pride for Ukraine

This was emphasized by President Viktor Yanukovych in his address to students on the occasion of the All-Ukrainian television Shevchenko's lesson.
"Next year we will celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Taras Shevchenko. The whole world will be celebrating this remarkable event. And so this school year begins in Ukraine with All-Ukrainian Shevchenko lesson", said the Head of state.
He stressed that the brilliant poet, writer, artist and ethnographer Taras Shevchenko, without exaggeration, is one of the spiritual Atlanteans of our state, the great patriot who devoted all his life to Ukraine.
"The current Shevchenko's lesson is your first lesson of pride in your own state and its people. This is just the beginning of your long journey of knowledge of your native land, its history and culture," said the President addressing the schoolchildren.
