The Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine
The Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine (Ukrainian: Стіна пам'яті загиблих за Україну) is the wall of the Mykhailivsky Golden-Domed Monastery along Trohsvyatitelska Street near Mykhailivska Square, Kyiv.[1][2]
It was implemented as a joint work of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, the National Military History Museum of Ukraine, the editorial board of the book "Memory of the Fallen for Ukraine" and the historical and cultural society "Amulet of Time". In 2020, the Wall of Remembrance was renovated. 4500 new photos were added.[3]
