Just a bunch of rusty iron
Happy Wednesday, folks.
Wednesday is little Friday, my work mate says. Would you mind if we take a break and wander around Kyiv?
It took me long to went through all these encyclopedic mental stages, denial, anger, acceptance, depression etc. And because I was behind most people, it was sometimes difficult for me to understand and accept their behavior. All this was not easy. I'm saying this to explain that I purposely avoided this exhibition of destroyed Russian equipment for a very long time. (The exhibition was opened on May 28.) Therefore, my photos will not surprise you, most likely, as you might already see it on the net or here on Hive. But the fact remains that this walk finally took place.
This is Saint Michael's Square (Mykhailivska ploshcha) in Old Kyiv. The heart of it. Two squares and a section of the street between them form a space where the main public events take place. At one end stands St. Michael's Cathedral, the bells of which woke up Kyiv on that tragic night of November 30, 2013, when the authoritarian government led by Yanukovych began violently dispersing peaceful demonstrators. On the other side, the Bell Tower and St. Sophia Cathedral. Their domes can be seen from the other bank of the Dnieper. It's always crowded and beautiful here.
I don't know what I was supposed to feel in the middle of this pile of iron. To be honest, I didn't feel anything but the stench. No fear, no joy, no regret. On its own, this iron is nothing, garbage. What is important is what it is for each of us.
They say that these are samples of the latest and best equipment of the Russian army.
The exhibition is quite popular on weekends.
I'm leaving you here and let you make your own opinion and impression. If you want to share your thought I'd love to read your comment.
Hotel Hyatt Regency.
Two civilian cars used to rescue people from the occupied territory of the Kyiv region in the first weeks of the war. These cars were shot, one was completely burnt. On the green Cherry there is the inscription CHILDREN, white ribbons are tied to the side mirrors. But this did not save them from death.

For Mariupol.
For Crimea.
Children look at the crushed remains with interest, especially boys. They are trying to climb onto a tank or crawl inside BMP.
Communism XX = Racism XXI

Very powerful… to see all that. A pile of rubble, iron… destroyed things. I think I wouldn’t know what to feel or think being there.

Not a single one seemed to be happy, that only reminds them of one dreadful day.
If only one...
Hello beautiful friend. Woww this really left me speechless, how brave you are to visit and observe all that, I don't believe myself capable of doing it. Everyone is different but this kind of thing seems absurd to me, to display a reminder of so much catastrophe, death and destruction. Maybe some people will find it attractive, or signs of the value of the population and those who lost their lives. Well, not to me, it makes me very sad, and I did not live through it. I can imagine for you and for those who lived through it. It is not easy.
Thank you for your work, and for sharing. You are splendid. Blessings @zirochka ✨

I dont know what to say. Whats going on is just awful - and the sooner its over the better.
I think it is good to know that this equipment is no longer a threat to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
the heaviest blow in life when all must happen by not following the voice of humans who have lost everything, the world needs peace because there are still many people who are helpless.
Who are those people who has lost everything, and whose voice shouldn't be heard?
It looks rough, strongs from all the way at the bottom of the world South Africa.

STOPCheck out the last post from @hivebuzz:
pictures of these vehicles have been appearing in the western media, it is better to see them from a resident on the ground, rather than a journalist. I have mixed feelings, should they be preserved as a tourist attraction to show the bravery of Ukrainian people, or do they just serve as a reminder of the needless deaths and injuries to those brave innocent people.
Stay safe.
Or both. They say the truth is somewhere in the middle...
Que sera sera I guess @zirochka
Страшні фото. Скільки болю, жаху та страждань в цих фото. Можливо, це лише моє суб'єктивне відчуття, але це точно не ті фото і не те місце куди хочеться повертатись. Це своєрідний образ болю українців, який ми всі переживаємо.
Ви знаєте Олексій, я коли дивилась на фото техніки побитої, то особисто в мене який супротив внутрішній, я не хотіла б з нею фотографуватись. Енергетика мабуть погана від неї віє.
Дякую, що написали. Тепер я розумію, що це не тільки моя уява.

Can only agree
Heartbreaking... the expressions you capture on the people's faces
That's what struck me most about these incredible photos 😕💔
The ones of the teens smiling and taking pictures says it all :) We should be sure to remember the occasion, but not let it ruin our joy.

War is really a bad thing. But one thing is sure, it will surely be all over someday and absolute peace, joy and glory will return to this beautiful city.
Yes, sooner or later, and I want to be there.
Thank you for comment.
