Mother Motherland In Kiev

2013/07/09



We can treat museums in different ways, someone may believe nobody needs them and we don’t have to live in the past, others suppose it’s important to know and remember our history and culture. Some things should be remembered not to happen in future, first of all it relates to museums devoted to WWII.


There is a national museum of WWII in the foundation of the statue. We are going to see some pictures from there right now.








Mother Motherland of Kiev can be seen from many places of the city. It’s really huge, bigger than the Statue of Liberty in NY. When it was built it was the biggest structure in all the USSR. Mother Motherland symbolizes struggle of the Soviet people with fascism.


The museum has more than 300 thousands of exhibits from various corners of the USSR. The exposition tells about the war all over the territory of the Soviet Union – from the north seas to Sebastopol and Caucasus.



The fragment of the ruins left by first hours of the Brest fortress battle. It’s all in one piece: brick, aircraft bombs and shells fragments etc.



Fragments of shells melted in this brick brought from the streets of Kiev 1941.



Plate, spoon and cup of a soldier.
