On October 17th, 2016 to celebrate the 73 anniversary of the liberation of Kyiv from Nazi occupation, students of PR-102 and PR-303 of the Educational and Research Law Institute, together with their tutors Yuliya Beluga and Lyudmyla Shapenko paid tribute to those killed in the war visiting the National Historical and Memorial Preserve “Babyn Yar”.

During the event students learned about the painful history of Babyn Yar, which unfortunately is not confined by mass murders of Jews in late September 1941. The terrible events that took place during the years of the German-Soviet war were marked by great sculptures, commemorative crosses to clerics, the killed members of OUN and poetess Olena Teliga, monument to the shot children, Gypsies, players of the FC “Dynamo” or the modest plates that immortalizes the victims of Nazism.
Visiting the Historical and Memorial Preserve impressed the young generation as viewing the exhibition of crimes made while occupation of Kyiv they understood that it was a tragedy of Ukraine and humanity which can not be forgotten. And that memory is a guarantee of immortality and a bridge that connects the past and present giving hope for the future.
