Churches, museums, theatres, monuments, libraries - hundreds of cultural heritage sites have been damaged by Russia's war against Ukraine over the past four years.

Renata Hanynets organised the exhibition at Viadrina. The doctoral student in the Chair of Historic Preservation is offering a guided tour of the exhibition in English on Wednesday 18 March at 4.00 pm. Registration is not necessary.
