Museums of Kyiv

Breakfast at the hotel's restaurant.
In the early morning, we are going to visit Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum. On April 26, 1986, the largest man-made radiological and ecological disaster of our time occurred - a nuclear accident at the fourth power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of creating the museum’s exposition is to help humanity to comprehend the Chornobyl disaster as a real factor of the possible destruction of our civilization, to comprehend the lessons of this tragedy in all spheres of life, to prevent the world from forgetting these lessons, and to become a warning to generations of the next millennium. A lot of materials that are presented in the museum were published for the first time: documents, photographs and maps with the restriction stamp "confidential". All these unique exhibits, including relics from the exclusion zone (ancient icons, folk art, local crafts and household items of the inhabitants of Ukrainian Polissia), and also personal belongings of the disaster relief workers, make us think about the most painful problems of the present, including environmental, social, and spiritual losses caused by the accident. Then you will have an excursion to one of the most famous symbols of Kyiv and Ukraine – The Motherland Monument and the Museum of the History of Ukraine in the World War II. The colossal 62-meter statue of the Motherland, which is 102 m with a pedestal, was made of special stainless steel and assembled using a special crane. The memorial complex "Museum of the History of Ukraine in the World War II" covers an area of 10 hectares on a hill on the right bank of the Dnieper river. There is a giant bowl of "The Flame of Glory", the "Alley of the Hero Cities" and the exhibition with military equipment of the World War II as well as post-war years. Ceremonial alley goes to the gallery of the Main Entrance along the slopes of the Dnieper, leading to the square and the building of the museum. The sculptures in the gallery represent the heroic defense of the USSR’s border from the German attack, the horrors of the German occupation, the partisan struggle, the heroic deeds of the workers on the home front and the battle for the Dnieper.
Lunch at a city café.
In order to have the complete picture of today, we must also visit the "Kyivan Rus Park". Ancient Kiev in the "Kyivan Rus Park" is a unique recreation and construction in the history of mankind of one of the most famous and at the same time the most mysterious medieval city of Eastern Europe – Ancient Kyiv of the V-XIII centuries, the capital of the great medieval state – Kyivan Rus – in the size of its historical center, known as "Kyiv Detinets" or "the City of Volodymyr". Its architectural image is recreated in full 1:1 scale, taking into account the knowledge of modern science. The atmosphere of Kyivan Rus is recreated there too.
Now we are going to have dinner at an oriental café in the city. Overnight in the hotel
