On September 17, 2004, activists of the civic campaign "PORA!" near the main building of Lutsk State Technical University during the long break at 12:50 held a theatrical performance "Sale of Diplomas." This event was aimed at students, and therefore it is very pleasant that the students themselves actively joined the action. Within just a few minutes, it was impossible to get near the location of the action. Almost 500 students gathered on the territory of the building. In the morning before the first class, "PORA!" activists handed out invitation leaflets for this event. On the territory of LSTU, activists handed out diplomas from Zadrypaily State Tractor-Mechanical University with specialties that the students themselves chose: "Cook-Pathologist," "Historian-Plagiarist," "Plumber-Gynecologist," "Engineer-Bungler." The diplomas could be bought for special currency – flint stones. The action caused a wide resonance among the public. The vice-rector for educational and upbringing work, Fedosov Anatoliy Vasyliovych, immediately came out to talk, and began to claim that this was calls for students to skip classes and not study. During the conversation, the vice-rector tried to intimidate students, driving them away from the stands and forbidding them to take diplomas. As could be expected, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine were present at the event. Their video cameras filmed the entire process of negotiations between activists of the "PORA!" campaign and LSTU teachers, and the faces of the most energetic students. Then law enforcement officers began to threaten them with drawing up administrative protocols. As noted by the spokesman of the civic campaign "PORA!" Andriy: "This action was aimed at once again reminding about the problems that exist in higher education in Ukraine. If you have to pay for every grade, credit, exam, coursework and diploma thesis, then it is simpler to buy a diploma right away. In addition, our diplomas are not valued in the world and are in fact not taken into account."
