A series of events dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Stepan Kravchun

On April 17, a series of events dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian designer and organizer of the automotive industry Stepan Kravchun, the long-time director of the Zaporizhzhia Automobile Plant Kommunar (“AvtoZAZ”) and a graduate of the Polytechnic University, took place at the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University.

A seminar on training experts in the inspection of historic cars started: participants analyzed real cases, studied assessment procedures, requirements for documentation and photo fixation. Experts from different cities of Ukraine, scientists and engineers – those who form the professional environment – joined the event.

Everyone was greeted by the rector of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University Viktor Greshta, family representatives Stepan Kravchun’s daughter Natalia Kravchun, Director of the Museum of the History of Technical Progress Natalia Derkach, President of the ZSTK “AvtoZAZ-DEU” Roman Shchypkov, other distinguished guests

One of the most important parts of the meeting is the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the National University “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic” and the NGO “Zaporizhzhia Sports and Technical Club AvtoZAZ-DEU” “Union of Experts of Historical Vehicles”. This is the beginning of the official cooperation of the university with a public organization in the field of preservation of historical vehicles.

The procedure for examining the ZAZ-965 car, which belonged to Stepan Kravchun and is stored in the Museum of the History of Technical Progress in authentic condition, was completed. All the details discussed during the seminar were worked out live: inspection, analysis, expert assessment. The participants received certificates of completion of the Start Seminar, and the results of the practical expert assessment of the ZAZ-965 car were also announced.

Thank you to everyone who chooses to move forward with the Polytechnic!
