The Ukrainian Sixtiers Dissident Movement Museum, Historical museum in central Kyiv, Ukraine.

The museum dedicated to Ukraine's Sixties dissident movement houses approximately 20,000 items documenting resistance against Soviet rule in the 1960s and 1970s. The collection includes books, newspapers, artworks, and diary entries from this period.

The building, an Art Nouveau mansion from 1908, originally served as a surgical clinic where Russian Prime Minister Stolypin died in 1911. After the Soviet era ended, the house was transformed into a museum for the dissident movement.

The exhibits show personal items and letters from Ukrainian intellectuals who fought for freedom of speech under Soviet rule. These objects tell the stories of their daily resistance and hopes for change.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and visitors should plan to arrive during these hours for admission. Guided tours can be arranged beforehand, allowing you to learn more about what is on display.

The building has housed the central office of the People's Movement of Ukraine since 1999 in the same spaces as the museum. This association of former dissidents continues to work in the same house that documents their struggles.
