In their assault on Ukraine, Russian forces have bombed buildings that Ukrainian treasure – and others that historians fear will be overlooked because of some Ukrainians’ uneasy relationship with the past
are in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kiev. “These repeated attacks on Ukrainian cultural sites must stop. Cultural heritage, in all its forms, should not be targeted under any circumstances,” said UNESCO director-general Audrey Azoulay in a statement.
But Ms. Gubkina is worried for the buildings that are her specialty: those from the Soviet period, which spanned 1922 to 1991. She cited the 1920s Derzhprom complex of towers in central Kharkiv, which is associated with the Constructivist movement, an early and radical stream of modernism in architecture.
“Sometimes heritage is just about where you lived, where you kissed a girl for the first time,” she said.
