The publication "Embroidered Shirts of Luhansk Oblast from the Collection of the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine" represents a unique collection of artifacts from the region, which is located in the "Fabric and Clothing" storage group of the funds of one of the most famous ethnographic museums of Ukraine and one of the largest open-air museums in Europe. The compilers managed to digitize and carry out a scientific description of more than 100 items of clothing from the Bilovodsky, Bilokurakynsky, Kreminsky, Novoaydarsky, Novopskovsky, Svatyovsky and Starobilsky districts.
As of the beginning of 2025, almost the entire territory of the Luhansk Oblast is occupied by Russia (the invasion began in 2014 and expanded in 2022). Therefore, the presented material is extremely significant, as it proves that these territories were and remain specifically Ukrainian.
The authors of the book consider it a strategic task to record and describe the cultural heritage of the occupied regions as much as possible in order to prevent the disappearance of samples in the event of their physical destruction by the enemy during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The book contains detailed photographs of authentic shirts from Luhansk, cuts and embroidery patterns.
