Memorial for the victims killed by OUN-UPA

Memorial for the victims killed by OUN-UPA, Memorial monument in Luhansk, Ukraine

The memorial for the victims killed by OUN-UPA is a monument in Luhansk, Ukraine, located within a park setting. The main sculpture depicts a mother with closed eyes holding a child while simultaneously protecting a bound man at its center.

The idea came from city deputy Arsen Klinchaev, linked to the Party of Regions, and a competition for the design was announced by the Luhansk regional council on 15 January 2009. Sculptor Mykola Mozhaiev, a Merited Artist of Ukraine, made the monument, which was unveiled on 8 May 2010 in the Square of Heroes of the Great Patriotic War. About one million hryvnias were raised by the public over several years. A 2008 foundation-stone ceremony ended in a scuffle with members of the Svoboda party.

The monument's official name is "Monument to the residents of Luhansk region who fell at the hands of the nationalist punishers from the OUN-UPA". Its inscriptions read "The truth is not subject to oblivion" and, on the lower part, a dedication to the victims of nationalism and fascism. The stele at the pedestal bears 21 names of natives of Voroshilovgrad region sent to work in western Ukraine and killed there, among them the Komsomol member Raisa Borzilo, a young teacher from the village of Hai in Lviv district who died in 1945.

The monument stands in the Square of the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War in central Luhansk, next to the Soviet-era Young Guard memorial. The sculptural group faces the square, and the memorial stele with the names is set at its base. The site is outdoors and can be visited at any time.

The stele beside the pedestal bears 21 names of natives of the Voroshilovgrad region sent to work in western Ukraine and killed there, among them Raisa Borzilo, a Komsomol member and young teacher from the village of Hai in Lviv district, who died in 1945 under unclear circumstances.
