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 Now this outdated coat of arms is a part of our history, but it no longer defines our present.
