All in person. | War graves and historical memory: The struggle to establish a memorial on Castle Hill in Kyiv for Ukrainian modern-day heroes Why is it important? The soldiers of the First Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Ukrainian Regiment (1917–1921), who were killed by russian forces, are buried on Zamkova Hora (Castle Hill) in Kyiv. The Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Regiment was the first significant Ukrainian military formation established after the destruction of the Zaporozhian Sich. It endured beyond the ambush on its military train and later engaged in fierce and courageous battles against russian forces. Historians and researchers argue that building a memorial to the Cossacks of the 1st Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Ukrainian Regiment on Castle Hill is not only a matter of restoring historical justice, it also serves as a powerful reminder that Ukraine’s struggle for independence has spanned centuries. |
