"This year, when we launched the Kyiv Region. Places of Memory" project, we had one main goal: to create something truly special. Something that will always remain in memory. So that everyone could feel and understand what the residents of Kyiv region had to go through during the Russian occupation. And what we continue to go through. 

We chose 9 locations for the route - places where the most tragic events took place.  One of them is the Road of Life. The installation "The Road of Life" is about our indestructibility. Red threads illuminated by pulsating light connect the parts of the destroyed bridge, reminding us of the scars of war that are healing but remain part of our history," Kravchenko wrote. 

He thanked all the partners who contributed to the realization of this unique project.  First of all, Expolight.

It is a heart that beats in the rhythm of freedom, strength and hope. We will continue to work to make Kyiv Region. Places of Memory" becomes a part of the great story of the strength of our people
