In memory of the teacher and scientis (on the centenary of the birth of L. H. Kerentseva)

The paper is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Larysa Hnativna Kerentseva, who was working for 20 years at Russian Language Department of our University. Her life path was not an easy one, which was common for the people of her generation. But, despite all the troubles of life, she was a sincere, empathetic person, a principled and demanding teacher, a good and reliable friend. In the memory of her students Larysa Hnativna remained forever as a teacher for whom philology was not a mere "higher school subject", but a matter of life. Though she was not a religious person, she always lived according to the biblical commandments: «Do not offend!», «Help!», «Be merciful!».
