On the morning of October 10, editor Yury Marchenko was supposed to be running through Shevchenko Park, near his home, at the same time as the Russian rockets hit it. One of them - to the playground, the other - to the intersection of Shevchenko Boulevard and Volodymyrska Street. The blast wave damaged "strategic" objects: museums, educational institutions, restaurants, galleries, hospitals, the Ministry of Education, the Teacher's House and the protective structure around the monument to Mykhailo Hrushevskyi.
That morning, Russia launched 84 cruise missiles and 24 drones over the territory of Ukraine. 14 people died and 97 were injured. The energy infrastructure was damaged. This attack was the first so massive since February 24 and showed that a terrorist country is at war with the civilian population, monuments, buildings, and culture. And admits it.
From October 10, Russia repeated the massive shelling several more times. But every time she was wrong in her expectations regarding the reaction of the Ukrainians.
What's more, Ukrainians and Ukrainian culture have been able to resist Russian terror and genocide for centuries. But thanks to what?
We are looking for an answer not only with Yuriy Marchenko, but also with volunteer Serhii Prytula, architect Slava Balbek, historian Oleksandr Palii, military expert Serhii Kuzan, deputy director of the National Science and Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences Oksana Chervonenko and director of the Khanenko Museum Yulia Vaganova.
