пам’ятник/Memorial is a project that documents the forgotten demolished and repurposed monuments in Ukraine. Once, statues of Lenin stood in every Soviet city and small village. Now, most are destroyed, with only the pedestals remaining. These structures are scattered throughout the countryside, reminding us of a tumultuous past and uncertain future.
