Maidan Museum

@MamedovGyunduz Important and urgent initiative to make military partners to cultural heritage people in protecting the Ukrainian nation identity in this war.

Protecting #CulturalHeritage should be one of 🇺🇦’s priorities in times of war. Ukraine, as a party to the 1954 #HagueConvention, has assumed the relevant obligations and is fulfilling them. According to the latest data, at least 835 cultural heritage sites have been affected by Russian aggression in Ukraine. Obviously, many of them are now in the area of responsibility of the military. That’s why it’s so important that they have specialized units that include professionals in the field of cultural heritage: museum workers, archaeologists, and cultural experts. It is for this purpose, taking into account the civil-military component of the Territorial Defense Forces, that the @TDF_UA Command is launching a pilot project: the Cultural VDF (Volunteer Defence Forces of territorial communities). It has already been joined by professionals who are able to assess the damage and organize the priority measures necessary to preserve monuments and evacuate them. There is a lot of work ahead.

While the Russia is trying to destroy both historical documents and Ukrainian cultural heritage to justify its crimes, European colleagues are coming to Ukraine's aid. We are grateful @NLNatArchief @DutchCulture @CERorganization @ALIPHFoundation

Huit sites d’#Ukraine sont inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’@UNESCO_fr. Depuis le début de l’invasion russe il y a un an, les institutions, dont le @MaidanMuseum, luttent pour protéger ce patrimoine particulièrement riche. #CulturePrime

We are thankful to our Polish and German friends from #OBMIN. They provided us with 4 CREATE LIGHT GmbH generators to help us fight Russia's attempts of leaving us in total darkness. Generators are a great help for all Ukrainian museum workers. We are grareful for your support!

The stance "Euromaidan is a coup d'état" has another part: Ukrainians don't have the right to freedom, russia can attack countries existing against its interests, etc. Many educated people supported Nazi ideology, but we hope that @elonmusk won't go down that path.

@elonmusk @KanekoaTheGreat The stance 'Euromaidan is a coup d'état' has another part: Ukrainians don't have the right to freedom, Russia can attack countries existing against its national interests, and so on. Many educated people supported Nazi ideology, but we hope that @elonmusk won't go down that path.

@KanekoaTheGreat That election was arguably dodgy, but no question that there was indeed a coup

"For Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected and pro-Russian president— which he rightly labeled a "coup"— was the final straw." -Prof. John Mearsheimer (2014)

Family, friends, and other caring people honored the memory of @HAfanasiev, a former Kremlin political prisoner, a Crimean, and a serviceman who died fighting the Russian occupiers in the Luhansk region. We remember! #victims_of_russia #MaidanMuseum

On #MuseumSelfieDay, we want to remind you that Ukrainian heritage is in danger, but the cultural community is united and strong. Ukrainian and foreign museum workers work daily to protect and preserve our culture from ruscists. #MuseumSelfie #MaidanMuseum

This Christmas and New Year time Ukraine celebrates with courage and faith resisting the Russian military aggression, protecting its sovereign territory, peaceful nation, historical memory and cultural identity. We believe that the upcoming 2023 will be the year of our Victory!

Light, humanity and love will always defeat darkness! Merry Christmas!

We adapt to today's challenges! 'War for Identity. The power of cultural resistance' exhibition works even during power outages. Visit the Art Gallery 'Lavra' in Kyiv to see the famous kitchen cabinet with a rooster from Borodianka and preserved artifacts from the modern war.

Maidan Museum's Gallery of Protest Art is 1 year old! Despite the war and quarantine, we have organized 4 exhibitions and meeting with the artist attended by hundreds of visitors. Everything for understanding the topics of the fight for freedom and democracy.

'Extremist's Diary' exhibition of paintings about the Revolution of Dignity is now open in the Gallery of Protest Art of the Maidan Museum. Each picture captures moments of the #Revolution of Dignity and the general atmosphere of the protest. Let's remember #Maidan together.

The scientific forum "Revolution of Dignity: Towards History" has begun. You can watch the broadcast here: cutt.ly/cMUOod4 #MaidanMuseumForum #MaidanMuseumForum2022

Maidan Museum and partners presented a program of events dedicated to the Day of Dignity and Freedom. This year's theme is 'The Revolution of Dignity is the first victorious battle of the war.' The slogan is 'We withstood the Maidan, and we will win the war.'
