Breakthrough in Kursk Oblast: Ukraine opened an exhibition with exhibits from the Russian region (photo)

Yuriy Savchuk, CEO of the National Museum of History of Ukraine in the Second World War, personally visited the Russian region after the Armed Forces fighters came there. He was able to collect a whole load of exhibits in order to recreate a "picture of war". In particular, it is a concrete copy of the nose of the Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, who in the first days of August was part of a full statue in Sudzha. Now it is part of the exhibition in Kiev.

"Among the cinema and television artists is the saying" The picture may disappear. We can lose this first picture about the war. And so we needed to see her, to feel these emotions, to see her with her own eyes, to recreate her in the social space. Thanks to our defense forces, we managed to conduct this short, urgent excursion, " - said Yuri Savchuk.

In general, a month director of the museum crossed the border with Russia four times and returned every time with various things that came in handy for exposition: local newspapers, cinemas, cinemas, cinemas. Handwritten tables from civilian bomb shelter, Soviet signs with a sickle and a hammer from a fire station and a road sign is cut by bullets, showing where roads to Ukraine and Russia, which has a certain symbolism.

And figuratively shows that Kyiv and Moscow have long been different directions The man disagrees at all, because the same monument to Lenin in Sudzh was attacked by a Russian drone and not destroyed by Ukrainian fighters. "It is the property that was defeated, destroyed. I am absolutely convinced that we cannot even use the term" artifacts "or" cultural values ​​"to refer to these objects when they are in Russia.

They will become monuments and testimonies of that Wars in our collection, in our museum, where we will keep them all our lives, "Yuri Savchuk continued. A representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine Pet Griffiths noted that he could not speak about the legitimacy of the West, since the organization adheres to neutrality and Geneva conventions.

"What can I say is that in any armed conflict-anywhere and at any time-private, public and cultural values ​​are protected," Pet Griffiths said. In general, the director of the Ukrainian Museum describes his visit to the Russian region as extremely difficult. He came to Sudzhi that week when the city was considered very dangerous and constantly fired by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Despite this, together with the bulletproof vest and helmet, Yuri Savchuk did his job.

Together with other exhibits, the director of the museum almost took with him a cat who was in a border crossing and planned that she would live in the museum. As a result, she jumped out of the car window at the last moment and fled to Russia. We will remind, on September 6 it was reported that at the expense of operation in Kursk region Ukraine changed the narrative about the war, wrote in Sky News.

According to Michael Froman, the President of the American Analytical Center Council on Foreign Relations, Ukrainian troops have shown that they could wage war in Russia and not only defend themselves. It was also reported that 6 tasks performed the Kursk operation and how the Kremlin plans were destroyed. The Kursk operation of the Armed Forces has been going on for a month.
