A good portion of our experience in Kiev was made up of visiting main sightseeing attractions such as the Motherland statue and Eternal Glory Park. The impressiveness and pride exuding from the former is truly symbolic and inspiring; the latter is more of a reflective attraction with plenty of information to go with it once at Glory Park itself. Well worthy of a visit!
The National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War is a memorial complex commemorating the German-Soviet War located in the southern outskirts of the Pechersk district of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, on the picturesque hills on the right-bank of the Dnieper River.
This is an excellent place, where we can see many many things from the WW2, started with tanks in the gate, then planes, missiles, missile carriers, etc... Really good place to see the past... Or even the present days in the war, which is happening right now between Russia and Ukraine... :( Definitely it's worth a visit, for those who want to know more about the WW2, or even just want to see the Motherland Monument, which is beautiful :)
