Tandem of science and art

Abstract

This autumn, Doctor of Philology, Honored Professor of Education of Ukraine, Honored Professor
of Kyiv National Linguistic University, Honored Worker of Public Education
of Ukraine Mykhailo Petrovych Kochergan celebrates his venerable eightieth anniversary. This is the time when youth is replaced by wisdom, when the Great Man takes a breath, gives himself a short rest to take up the exhausting, but such an expensive, because beloved, work again tomorrow. We took advantage of this short pause in the life of the respected Mykhailo Petrovych to talk to the famous linguist, skilled teacher, talented
artist, and finally - an intellectual, carrier and generator of the national idea, who, at the call of his own conscience, ennobles the environment in which he lives and acts.
