Today in Ukraine is the Day of Remembrance of those killed on the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine.

) On October 28, 1944, during the Second World War, the westernmost region of Ukraine, Transcarpathia, was liberated from German and Hungarian troops. The day was established “...for the purpose of nationwide celebration of the liberation of Ukraine from fascist invaders, honoring the heroic feat and sacrifice of the Ukrainian people in World War II...” according to the Presidential Decree of October 20, 2009. The expulsion of the Nazis from Transcarpathia began on September 9, 1944 during the East Carpathian strategic military operation, the components of which were the Carpathian-Duklyan and Carpathian-Uzhgorod frontal offensive operations. During the Carpathian-Uzhgorod operation, the troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front gained Carpathian passes and advanced into Transcarpathia. On October 16, Soviet troops captured the city of Rakhiv, on October 24 they liberated Khust and Svalyava, on October 26 - Mukachevo, and on October 27 - Uzhgorod. The established date for the cleansing of Ukraine from the Nazi invaders is October 28, 1944. In fact, there was still Chop - an important railway junction on the border of Transcarpathian Ukraine, Slovakia and Hungary. On October 28, 1944, Soviet troops approached Chop. Due to a fierce battle that lasted the whole day, on October 29, troops of the 17th Guards Rifle Corps, 237, 8 and 138 rifle divisions liberated Chop. But soon the Nazi troops launched a counteroffensive. Certain areas of Chop changed hands several times. Chop was finally liberated only on November 23, 1944. On the same November 23, the Nazis were expelled from the village of Sholomon (now Solomonovo). Today it is the westernmost settlement of Transcarpathia and all of present-day Ukraine. Therefore, this particular date should have been associated with the expulsion of the Nazi occupiers from Ukraine within its current borders, because until 1945, Transcarpathian Ukraine was still considered the territory of Czechoslovakia. During the East Carpathian military offensive operation, not only Transcarpathia, but also part of Slovakia were liberated. Soviet troops inflicted a serious defeat on the 1st German Tank Army and almost completely defeated the 1st Hungarian Army. The losses on both sides were considerable. The Germans and Hungarians lost approximately 60 thousand killed, 28 thousand of their soldiers were captured. Regarding the Soviet side, more than 50 thousand military personnel died, of which more than 41 thousand were killed and wounded, almost two thousand were missing, and many were frostbitten. On this Day, fallen soldiers are remembered by laying flowers at monuments and carrying out other traditional memorial events.

At the same time, on this day, on the initiative of the International Animated Film Association (ASIFA; International Animated Film Association), since 2002, it has traditionally been celebrated International Animation Day. On October 28, 1892, in Paris, at the Grevin Theater, the French inventor Emile Reynaud for the first time publicly demonstrated his apparatus - a praxinoscope, which showed moving pictures. Since then, animation has come a long way: from simple black and white silent cartoons to the mind-blowing developments of 3D - 4D animation. However, no matter what computer programs are and no matter how quickly technology develops, nothing can replace the artist in this matter, because the character, as well as his adventures, must be invented. We should also not forget that animated films are created not only using a computer, but also from materials such as sand, plasticine, clay, paper, paint, etc. Cartoon characters can be created using a pencil, but they can also be dolls or ordinary household items. Making cartoons is not cheap - one minute of animation costs up to 10 thousand dollars. International Animation Day is celebrated in more than 40 countries around the world and, of course, more significantly in France. But other countries, such as Canada, USA, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, India, and Japan are actively participating in the celebrations. Even countries like Burkina Faso and Cameroon have Animation Day. Every year on International Animation Day, at the request of ASIFA, one of the world's famous animators creates a poster - a visual symbol of the holiday. International Animation Day is a good opportunity to recall the animation masterpieces created in the past, as well as show new ones experimental work young artists, exchange their own experience with specialists at seminars. Sometimes world animation premieres are scheduled for this day. Although Ukraine is not a member of the International Animated Film Association, we have something to be proud of, because Ukrainian animation during its existence, which is 90 years (the first cartoons in Ukraine were made in 1927), has created many worthy examples of animation art. Ukrainian directors, screenwriters, and animators brought prizes from festivals in the USA, Japan, France, Switzerland, Poland, and other countries. Today, it is difficult to imagine Ukrainian animation art without such names as Evgeniy Sivokon (“Careful - nerves!”, “Snow will cover the roads...”, Irina Gurvich (“How wives sold their husbands”), Vladimir Dakhno and Eduard Kirych (authors of the animated series “ Like the Cossacks..."), Vladimir Goncharov ("Stone on the Road", "My Years"), David Cherkassky ("The Adventures of Captain Vrungel", "Treasure Island"), Stepan Koval ("There was a tram number nine"), Oleg Pedan (“Iron Wolf”, “Bright Personality”), Alexander Bubnov (“Bluebeard’s Last Wife”, cartoons about Sherlock Holmes), Ekaterina Chepik (“Fiction”).

Events of the day:

400 years ago (1617) In the Old Olshanka tract near Tarashcha (now Kiev region), the Olshansky Agreement was concluded between Hetman Petro Sagaidachny and the commander of the Polish army Stanislav Zholkiewski. The terms of this agreement reflected the search for a compromise between the Cossacks and the Polish government. According to the Olsha Agreement, the Cossack register was set at 1 thousand people, however, at the request of the foreman, the final number of registered Cossacks was to be determined by the Polish Sejm; the Cossacks were given the right to elect a hetman, who was approved by the Polish king; the Polish government was obliged to pay a salary for the service of registered Cossacks; registrars had the right to live only in Zaporozhye; they were forbidden to make trips to the Crimea and Turkey; those townspeople who had joined the Cossacks in the last 5 years were excluded from the Cossack army, and the unregistered Cossacks returned to the authority of the elders and gentry. The Olsha Agreement caused great discontent among wide circles of registered Cossacks, and therefore the Polish government failed to implement it.

Anniversaries of the day:

13 6 years since birth Dmitry Yakovlevich Makogon (1881-1961), Ukrainian writer, cultural and educational figure. Father of Irina Vilde. He taught in rural and private schools in Bukovina and Galicia. He made his debut with a collection of poems “A peasant idyll” (1907), in which he wrote with bitter irony about the hopeless life of a peasant. The poetry “Two Letters” - about the sad fate of an emigrant and his family - spread in Bukovina and Pokuttya as a folk song. His poem “To the Fight” became the anthem of the radical party of Bukovina. However, the main place in the writer’s heritage is occupied by prose works - collections of stories “ School pictures" and "Teacher's benefits", "Through our villages", "Against the wave." A distinctive feature of Dmitry Makogon’s work is the widespread use of folk humor. In the post-war period he published humoresques in newspapers and almanacs. Irina Vilde (Daria Dmitrievna Makogon (married Plotnyuk)) - Ukrainian writer, author of the famous novel “The Richinsky Sisters” recalls the atmosphere that reigned in the Makogon family: “I can proudly say that I grew up in ideal family... A cult reigned in our family (let’s not let ourselves discredit this good words!) mother. Mom was the highest and final authority in all controversial issues. Now I only realize what a colossal significance for the formation of my worldview, my perception of the world, was the fact that I never heard my parents not only quarreling, but speaking among themselves in a hostile tone... My father was for me a model of social virtues..." The grandson of Dmitry Makogon - Yarema Evgenievich Plotnyuk (1935-2012) was an orientalist, translator, and taught at the department of oriental studies (created, by the way, on his initiative in 1997) at Lviv National University.

Born on this day Bill Gates (1955), American entrepreneur and social activist, philanthropist. Programmer, one of the founders (together with Paul Allen) of Microsoft Corporation (until June 2008 he was the head of the company), Knight of the British Empire (2005), one of the richest people on the planet - the American’s fortune as of September 2017 is estimated at more than $84 billion. In his entire life, Bill Gates never attended business training or read books like “How to Make a Million,” and he himself wrote “The Road to the Future” and “Business at the Speed ​​of Thought.” The latter, published in 1999, became a worldwide bestseller and has now been translated into more than 25 languages. It's hard to surprise Gates, but he still marvels at how his wife Melinda managed to convince him, an ardent rationalist and pragmatist, to get married. Today the couple are raising three children; Gates’s marriage is quite happy. “Spending money wisely is just as difficult as earning it. In the future, I plan to give away money in a meaningful way, if, of course, I have something to give away... What is a business? This is a great game: a minimum of rules and a maximum of drive, and the score in this game is in money” (Bill Gates).

1893 The premiere of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Sixth (Pathetique) Symphony took place in St. Petersburg
Always extremely strict with himself, the composer this time was pleased with his creation. “Into this symphony,” he wrote, “I put, without exaggeration, my whole soul... I positively consider it the best and especially the most sincere of all my works.” The audience received Tchaikovsky's brilliant work with very moderate success, which amazed and discouraged the author. 5 days after the premiere, Pyotr Ilyich, after drinking a glass of raw water, contracted cholera.
