Exhibition «Redefinition»

The Soviet coat of arms, removed from the shield of the "Motherland" monument, is now a museum artifact. The replacement of symbols on the highest sculpture in Europe became the most noticeable moment of the decommunization processes in our society and redefinition of the entire Memorial complex. This summer, by the 32nd anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine, we succeeded in what seemed to be impossible for decades – freed ourselves from the symbol of totalitarianism and oppression. Now this outdated coat of arms is a part of our history, but it no longer defines our present.

Thousands of kilometers were covered along the frontline, the majestic images of the warriors were caught on camera.

Wartime Talismans

The exhibition focuses on the extraordinary stories of ordinary things that served as talismans. They belonged to the residents of Ukraine who found themselves in the midst of the bloody social and political cataclysms of the mid 20th century and the current Russian aggression against Ukraine. The presented artifacts reveal the uncommon fates of their owners and describe the circumstances of living through past and modern global upheavals.

Soldiers' talismans and family relics, icons and prayer books, letters, children's drawings, and memory photos... They helped their owners to withstand, survive, and overcome the ordeals of the Second World War, the horrors of the Nazi occupation, and Stalin's repressions and not lose faith in people and justice. They accompany and inspire us today in the fierce struggle against the Russian aggressor for our freedom and dignity, for independence and state sovereignty.
