Culture Destroyed During the War, Irpin, Ukraine
- Description:
- The description of the image reads, "Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many Ukrainian cultural figures have been killed in the fighting, during the occupation, or shelling. A witness spoke about a painting from lrpin whose author was killed in the occupation: "Today, I visited a house in lrpin that was damaged during the Russian invasion. However, restoration work is currently underway. As I looked at the roof, my attention was drawn to a painting hanging on the brick wall, on the part of the wall still unrefurbished. A local resident recounted that it was painted by a man who used to live in this very house and was shot during the occupation." Reuse permission: Professor Anasstasia Fedyk
