A LITTLE HOOLIGANISM IN LVIV
On the first Saturday in may at the Museum area of the city scheduled city holiday “Batyar Day”. I should explain the meaning of “batyar”. “So in Lviv called the urban revelers. Being shallow is not alien to them, but they are not muggers or bandits, — says historian and tour guide Igor Lylo. — This type was characteristic only of three Ukrainian cities — Kiev, Lviv and Odessa. In the beginning of the XX century Lviv batiars has created its own lingo, dress code and mannerisms. Here’s to the revival of the nuances and founded the holiday.”
In recent years, the festival takes place in the form-in “batiars on the Rover” (similar to London’s “tweed rides”).
