As Kravchenko pointed out, this is the route to the most famous places in Kyiv region since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. 9 locations that the whole world knows about today, and the horrors that the Russian occupiers created there.

  • Gostomel: military town, memorial “Angel of Victory” in the village of Moshchun
  • Borodianka: the central square

An information stand and a stele with QR codes were placed on the Romanivskyi Bridge, where the important project was launched. 

"A couple of clicks and you're on the website of the Places of Memory augmented reality project. One more click and you can virtually experience everything that people went through during the evacuation on the Road of Life," Ruslan Kravchenko added. 

The bridge itself was decorated with red threads. It is a symbol of hope, restoration and victory.

To accompany visitors along the entire route, CRSA has trained guides. These are 15 people who will tell about historical events in Ukrainian and English.
