Many teachers and students of Poltava institutes were present at the event. Larysa Semenyaga, Deputy City Major , said opening the presentation, “Such impressive international conference has never been held in Poltava before. All reports made by scientist from many countries were very interesting and represented all spectrum of points of view on the battle that undoubtedly was one of the most importants events in the Europe of the 18th century." The book also contains papers presented by Swedish guests of the conference: Einar Lyth, Bengt Nilsson, and Bo Knarrström.
