ABSTRACT

This article is dedicated to the scientific dialogue of two archaeologists: Dr. J. Gurba (Poland) and Dr. V. Korpusova (Ukraine). This dialogue became possible because of the international exchange program between Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv and Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin. This program provided an opportunity for scientists to share scientific and cultural experience by direct human communication, to spread mutual understanding between people with common values, and provided an opportunity to establish professional contacts and meet new friends. The international exchange program is one of the many areas of work that the Department of Archeology and Museum Studies at Kyiv University is doing. With this program Dr. Gurba came for the internship in 1963-1964. He became a link between Polish and Ukrainian archaeologists, and facilitated the distribution of Ukrainian research achievements in Poland. Many Ukrainian scientists became his friends since then. One of those people is the author of this article, who worked at that time in the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. This friendship, based on the common shared values and interests, continues through mail for more than half a century (since 1963).

This dialog helps to exchange scientific and cultural information, international publication of scientific articles, and spread of shared values. A special place in this dialogue is dedicated to the prominent scientists connected with the Department of Archeology and Museum Studies of KU: Professor L.M. Slavin (1906-1971), Dr. I.G. Shovkoplyas (1921-1997), and a graduate of KU Dr. V.P. Petrov (Domontovich) (1894-1969), who graduated from the University of Saint Volodymyr (as it was called then) in 1918. These people were my teachers, to whom I have dedicated multiple publications. Many Ukrainian publications of Polish archeologist Dr. Gurba are dedicated to them as well. He also published multiple articles about these people and other Ukrainian scientists and reviews of their work in Poland. Dr. Gurba always supports publication of my articles dedicated to Ukrainian archeologists V.P. Petrov, N.M. Kravchenko, M.I. Vyazmitina in Poland. Long lasting mail communication between Dr. Gurba and Dr. Korpusova is a good example of international exchange program outcomes.

Key words: archeology, educational exchange program, Ukraine, Poland, correspondence, Department of Archeology and Museology KNU.
