The guests were introduced to the fortifications of the ancient city, its political structure, military affairs, culture and traditions. During the tour, they also saw a model of the Oath of the citizens of Chersonesus, which was once taken by young ephebes upon reaching adulthood. On the main square (agora), visitors were told in detail about how in 988 an important historical event took place in the ancient city — the baptism of Prince Vladimir, which had a huge impact for the development of our state.
Irina Shnyrina, a member of the social movement of the LPR «Young Guard» and the project «We Remember» shared her impressions:
Our friendly visit is an opportunity not only to exchange experience with Sevastopol colleagues, but also to visit such a culturally and patriotically significant place as Tauric Chersonesus. We were able to see its central part, the Port and Northern regions, the Antique Theater and St. Vladimir Cathedral. I would like to express my gratitude to the staff of the museum-reserve, who allowed us to get to know the history of the ancient city, the culture and way of life of its population.
We hope that the guests from the Luhansk People’s Republic liked Tauric Chersonese, that they learned a lot of interesting things and received a charge of positive emotions.
