On Saturday, the 10th of October, Mykola Tomenko, Vice-Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine would take {art in the Opening of the "Zaporizka Sich" Historical and Cultural Complex at the territory of "Khortytsia" reserve
The idea of creating "Zaporizka Sich" complex caught its second wind after Ukraine became independent. However, the funds required for the construction were allocated only in 10 years. On 14 October 2004, i.e. exactly 5 years ago, the ceremonial laying of foundation of the complex took place. The Government of Yulia Tymoshenko rendered the first financial support in the amount of UAH 5 million in 2005. "Zaporizhstal" metallurgical works covered the biggest part of expenses. The last stage of the construction was launched on 19 June 2009 with an all-Ukrainian action "Let us Restore Zaporizka Sich" initiated by Mykola Tomenko, Vice-Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The advertising campaign called on the public with a request to contribute to the construction of the Complex, making a phone call or sending an SMS.
Yulia Tymoshenko, the Prime-Minister of Ukraine would take part in the opening of the complex.
