I congratulate everyone on the Day of Cosmonautics, when a Ukrainian scientist for the first time in the world launched into the space a russian man instead of a dog.
Oh, this is a serious resource.
ps: And... "Wagner" is not a Russian army.

Wasn't there a rocket science University or something in Zhitomir?
Honestly, I have not heard about this before. This is probably a good university.
But Ukraine had one of the best plants in the world for production of rocket and space technology in the 80s (YuzhMash).
Everything remained in the glorious Soviet past.
The only university in Zhitomir is a medical one. You're probably thinking of the space museum dedicated to Sergei Korolyov, who was born there. The only rocket research related places in Ukraine are in Kiev, Kharkov and Dnipro.
The problem for Yuzhmash is they made only parts or engines for certain stages of rockets jointly with Russia. I don't see a bright future unless they find a solid partner. They are returning to their military roots with some recent designs though. Fun fact about Yuzhmash is that's who built the missiles that led to the Cuban Missile crisis.

Yes, it's all in the past.
I was listening to curious reports from there so far, on one particular educational project during the coronavirus quarantine.
Well, basically while everyone was stuck at home ( school children including, part of which don't have access to the internet,) Ukr. gov came up with a good idea - that is to continue the remote education via TV.
So every channel picked up program for certain grade ( I think they've started with the 5th grade on, and teachers for every respectful subject were picked from Kiev's schools, supposedly the best. )
And so the parents that were stuck at home with their children, actually had an opportunity to have a glimpse into their children's education. What they are taught and how.
Which left them with a lot of questions, to put it mildly.
It turned out that polar bears were living in Antarctica, 30-2 equaled 18, the Livonian war turned into the war with Lebanon, and in general, when it came to history lessons, not only children were encouraged to learn it with the help of emoticons, identifying their attitude towards the Russian Empire VS Austro-Hungarian empire, but as Sharij has put it, it reminded him downright the Soviet propaganda lessons, but in reverse manner)))
( Except for in Soviet schools they at least were not confusing the the names of Tzars, and which ocean was coming to the shores of Australia. )
So obviously, after the concerned parents ( concerned by the quality of education of their children) addressed the media, Zelensky's gov. came up with a flash mob in Rada, defending the "right of teachers to make mistakes."

You are mistaken. Yuzhmash produced Zenit space missiles and SS-18 Satan ballistic missiles.

Yes. There was a Museum there 15 years ago when I stopped. I saw it down the street but I had no time to go visit. I'm sure there was a reference to an academy or institute also. Maybe my lousy reading skills had something to do with it.
Ukrainian SSR had a lot of advanced industry back then.

I think teachers were just worried in front of the cameras. Even my 4-year-old son knows that polar bears live in the Arctic (there are icebreakers), and penguins live in the Antarctica (there are rocks and a polar stations). But if you make a person speak into a lens, many people get lost and worried.
