The Lavra Reserve administration invites Kyiv residents and guests of the capital to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra through lectures on the history of clothing.
Museum staff hope to interest Ukrainians with questions such as, "What was a Cossack's zhupan like, what did a women's katanka-menta look like, and what is a cloak-opancha, were sharovary (wide trousers) worn in the mid-17th century?"
"Listeners will not only be able to see but also touch and try on individual elements of reconstructed clothing," promises the Reserve.
Why such lectures should be held in the ancient Orthodox shrine rather than in any of the hundreds of more suitable venues in Kyiv, is not specified.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Reserve's acting director, Svitlana Kotliarevska, complained that after the closure of the Caves, the attendance of the Lavra decreased dramatically and shared a plan on how to attract people to the shrine.
