    Really? Ambitious liceum? All money goes on principle's cars and property. This building in bad condition, and Lysenko M. A. doing anything but renovating it. Many teachers did not care about your education, just care to fucked you up. But there are a few teachers that became legends of liceum: Shaverskyi Serhii (Sigmych), Savon Bohdan (Stepanych), Savon Yan (Yanchik), Dunayeva Viktoria (Dunaksa), Zabolotnyi Oleksiy (Sanych). Thanks to them for our psycho-recovery. P.S: If you want to join this LNZ family, think about it twice

    В воскресенье, 21 июня 2020 года, в столичном спальном районе Позняки прогремел мощный взрыв. Он разрушил целый дом и унес жизни 5 человек. Примерно в 10 часов утра жители киевских микрорайонов Позняки и Осокорки услышали взрыв и увидели большое облако пыли. Инцидент произошел в многоквартирном доме по улице Крушельницкой, 1/5. Как выяснилось, в построенной в 1996-м году 9-этажке взорвался газ.
