An educational event took place at the city library on Shevchenko Street in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Mykola Myronenko — Candidate of Technical Sciences and Professor at the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social-Humanitarian Disciplines at the Dnipro Metallurgical Institute — delivered a lecture titled "Kostiantyn Bunin: A Portrait of a Scientist Against the Backdrop of an Era." (see https://www.facebook.com/share/1CYxFr4zFe/)

The event was dedicated to the 115th anniversary of the scientist's birth. For the occasion, the lecturer compiled a biobibliographic index of the scientific works of Kostiantyn Petrovych Bunin, a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. A copy was donated to the city library's collection, which was met with applause from those in attendance.

Mykola Andriiovych told the audience about the key milestones in the life of the metallurgist-scientist, highlighting the defining events of his scientific biography. The audience was particularly intrigued by the photographs illustrating the talk, including "trees" of the scholars from K.P. Bunin's scientific school from 1970 and 2010. The lecturer skillfully interspersed the narrative with references to significant events of the mid-20th century, which sparked additional interest among those present.

At the end of the lecture, a recording made sometime in the mid-1960s was played — the voice of the very subject of the event, Professor Kostiantyn Petrovych Bunin, who was talented at reading the poetry of contemporary poets. This journey across space and time created an unforgettable atmosphere and drew enthusiastic applause.

Finally, attendees had the opportunity to ask Mykola Myronenko questions about his work on the index, the process of gathering and analyzing information, and the ultimate purpose of all these extraordinary efforts. On the latter point, Mykola Andriiovych emphasized the need for a clear understanding of the role and place of scientist K.P. Bunin in the development of metallurgical science, particularly materials science. It is precisely through works like these that such positioning takes place and contributions are made to the history of science.

The importance of working on such indexes was also supported by Tetiana Ivanivna Herasiuta, Deputy Director of the city library and the event's host. She also shared an interesting fact from her years of study in Kharkiv: during one of her classes, a lecturer stressed that a person born elsewhere but who has lived in a community for at least 17 years is considered a local resident, and accordingly their contributions are studied by local historians.

Those in attendance expressed sincere words of admiration for the lecture and wished Mykola Myronenko continued inspiration in his research in the history of science.
