WWII Kyiv Museum Tour

National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War

Duration: 2 hours

The Second World War has fascinated me since my school years. As I grew older, my interest in this topic increased. I still continue to learn new information about one of the largest armed conflicts in human history. If you are also curious about the Second World War in the Eastern front, I would be happy to share my knowledge with you and to learn something new from you as well.

Ukraine in World War II

Due to its geopolitical and geostrategic position, Ukraine was one of the main springboards of the Eastern front in the Second World War. During the war were mobilized nearly 7 million Ukrainians, representing 23% of the personnel of the Soviet Army Forces. The tragedy touched almost every Ukrainian family.

Ukrainian marshals and generals led almost half of the 15 fronts, including about 300 generals of the war. A striking irreversible loss of Ukraine by some estimates amounts to 14 million people. 

National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War counts 400 thousand exhibit items.  There is also an exposition located in the open area. It presents to visitors samples of military vehicles of World War II, and military equipment of the postwar period.
