Музей партизанської слави «Спадщанський ліс», Partisan Glory Museum in Spadshchansky Forest, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine
The Partisan Glory Museum sits at a forest location where a local resistance group operated during World War II. The displays show weapons, ammunition, photographs, and documents from that period, alongside an outdoor memorial complex.
The museum was established in 1956 to honor the local resistance unit that operated in this forest during German occupation. The site was chosen because significant fighting and operations took place there.
The place is named after the forest where resistance fighters sheltered and carried out their operations during the war. Visitors can walk through the grounds where people organized daily activities and defended themselves against occupation.
The grounds are easy to walk through with a path running through the forest and toward the memorial. Good footwear is recommended since the ground can be slippery depending on the season, and most information is available only in Russian or Ukrainian.
A captured German tank from 1941 sits on the grounds and shows the type of equipment resistance fighters confronted. This actual preserved vehicle makes the difficult circumstances of the conflict in this region especially clear.
