From MSN/NVU:
“New Bucha memorial to capture
horror and resilience of Russian occupation”
The Urban Design team, led by
Stanyslav Demin, won the architectural competition and will be responsible for
the construction of the memorial, which will consist of several structures and
aims to represent the 33 days of occupation through form, material and silence
rather than numbers and dates.
The main building will have an
inverted structure, symbolizing the upheaval experienced by the residents who
lost everything. In addition, there will be an underground corridor
representing the journey from fear to hope. Another element of the memorial is
a pond, built on the grounds of a church, where the names of the victims will
be displayed and illuminated at night as a symbol of perpetual remembrance. Public
discussions on the design of the memorial are ongoing, and the community is
invited to provide input.
March 31 marks the third
anniversary of the liberation of Bucha, which serves as a reminder of Russia's
crimes in Ukraine. More than 2,500 Russian soldiers suspected of involvement in
the killing of civilians in Bucha in 2022 have been identified by the Ukrainian
National Police as of March 2025, according to an NV investigation.
^ A sad Anniversary, but one that
needs to be remembered. ^
