10 years since the start of Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014 10 years too long ... for war and thousands killed Let us not forget what is happening in Ukraine. And let us not forget to help! #CrimeaIsUkraine #StandingWithUkraine #10YearsTooLong data4ua.eu/news/2024/10ye…

Count Tolstoy's mansion, built in 1830, which housed the Odesa House of Scientists is another victim of the russian attack. A missile strike on 23 July 2023 damaged all the halls and rooms inside.

Another destroyed landmark is the Mariupol Theatre, built in 1956-1960 in the style of Soviet monumental classicism. The Russian airstrike on the theatre on 16 March 2022, where hundreds of civilians were hiding in March, was a horrific war crime that killed more 1000 people.

Kuindzhi Art Museum is one huge loss of Ukrainian cultural heritage, damaged after the shelling in Mariupol on 28 April 2022. Russian forces have seized more than 2,000 pieces of artwork to Russian-occupied Donetsk, ui.org.ua/en/postcard/ar…

Today, we focus on the largest Orthodox church in Odesa, built 200 years ago. In 1936, Soviet authorities blew up the bell tower and the cathedral, having looted it beforehand. The Transfiguration Cathedral was rebuilt in time of independent Ukraine.

To mark the second anniversary of the full-scale war unleashed by russia as another round of aggression after 2014, we are launching a series of posts dedicated to the loss of Ukrainian country's cultural heritage. This is a war against our identity.
