Kharkov schools will celebrate the last bell with a waltz in embroidered shirts
Kharkov schools have not yet received recommendations from the regional department of education on how to celebrate the holiday of the last bell. Many educational institutions note that, as last year, they will most likely allow the lineup to be held at their discretion.

This was reported by the local publication 057.ua - the website of the city of Kharkov.
“There have been no recommendations yet. Now we have children writing tests and leveling grades. But usually our assembly takes place after school. On the last day, teachers conduct classroom hours for schoolchildren. Eleventh-graders will dance the waltz, the children will come up with a program themselves, and we will help them with this,” the publication quotes the director of local lyceum No. 89, Svetlana Kirichenko.
There are no plans for lavish celebrations at Kharkov Gymnasium No. 24 either.
“We will spend the last bell like all other schools - with a waltz and songs. It’s true that the girls will be dancing the waltz in black dresses and gold ribbons,” notes Yasmin Lebedeva, a student at the KU KHUVK 24.
The children of Lyceum No. 89 also abandoned the usual “white top and black bottom.”
“Many of our children wear embroidered shirts almost every day, and if there is some kind of event, instead of a white top and black bottom, students wear embroidered shirts. But this is all at the request of the student, no one specially forces them to come in embroidered shirts,” the director assures.
As the publication clarifies, many online stores in Kharkov now have a large selection of embroidered shirts for both girls and boys. On average it will cost 250-300 hryvnia.
However, some Kharkov eleventh-graders decided to come to the assembly in a dress with an apron from the times of the USSR. On the Internet, a Soviet uniform can be found for 255-480 hryvnia. True, sellers complain - they are not willing to buy it.
“It doesn't sell well. Compared to last year, only a couple of uniforms were sold this year. Do you think because of the situation in the country? – after all, this is a form from the times of the Soviet Union. We tried it, we sewed it, we won’t bother with school uniforms anymore,” the sellers of one of the online stores told the publication.
Many schools have also abandoned banquets in restaurants or cafes due to prohibitive prices.
