In Lviv, his surviving bronze bust was found under the rubble of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) General Roman Shukhevych Museum, destroyed by the Russians on January 1.
The surviving Shukhevych bust was retrieved from the museum rubble in Lviv
This was reported in the Lviv Historical Museum, a department of the Shukhevych Museum.
As a result of analyzing the ruins of the Museum of UPA Genral Roman Shukhevych, our museum team managed to save a bronze bust of Mykhailo Chereshniovskyi, the historical museum said.
According to the museum staff, the sculpture of the General suffered only minor damage.
The head of the Lviv Regional State Administration (RSA), Maksym Kozytskyi, also shared the happy news.
You know that the wreckage of the enemy "Shaheds" destroyed the museum of UPA General Roman Shukhevych in Bilogorshcha... But we also have a real miracle: the bust of Roman Shukhevich by Mykhailo Chereshniovskyi, which was considered lost due to the attack on the museum, actually survived! It was discovered under numerous rubble. The chest is slightly damaged, but saved! — Kozytskyi said.
The head of Lviv RSA noted that Shukhevych's bust, which was saved after the Russian attack, is in the funds of the Lviv Historical Museum.
The bust by the sculptor Chereshniovskyi was donated to the Lviv Historical Museum by the Society of UPA Soldiers in the USA, named after General Taras Chuprinka, especially for the newly established 2001 Museum of Corporal General Roman Shukhevych of the UPA in Bilogorshcha.
The museum was digitalised
After the attack on the Shukhevych Memorial Museum, the Lviv Skeiron bureau, which is engaged in the digitisation of objects of Ukrainian cultural heritage, announced on social networks that they managed to make a digital model of the house of the UPA general, which was destroyed on January 1.
This is a targeted attack on the history of our liberation struggle, but fortunately, we have created a 3D tour of the museum back in 2021 together with the Lviv Historical Museum, the bureau noted and shared a link to the museum tour.
