Chernihiv: March 1 - anniversary of the Koryukivka tragedy
: — the place of one of the greatest tragedies of the Second world war. In 1943 Nazi punitive forces burned the town and killed nearly 7,000 of its inhabitants. For several years the regional government, scientists and concerned citizens sought the honor of the tragedy at the national level and the construction in koriukivka memorial burned all settlements of Ukraine. The first goal was accomplished; the construction of the memorial came to a standstill at the initial stage. About the future of the Museum-memorial complex in koriukivka was discussed at the briefing involving officials of the region and the author of the project of the complex of Boris Dedov on 29 February. Construction costs projected in 2012, an ambitious Memorial complex to the memory of residents of settlements of Ukraine, destroyed by the Nazi occupiers, would have amounted to over 40 million. First Deputy Chairman of regional state administration Leonid sakhnevich reminded that provided the funding, however, was just enough for the initial stage of the project. In recent years, funds for the completion, in spite of appeals to the Central authorities, the state budget was not provided. "In order to use forces, financial capabilities of the Chernigov area, we decided to make a more modest project of the Museum. The actual creation of this Museum so that mankind would know that it is not only the biggest tragedy of Ukraine is one of the biggest tragedies of the world", — said Leonid sakhnevich. It is this more modest and realistic project of the memorial complex in koriukivka presented during the briefing Boris Dedov. It offers: – build dedicated Koryukivka tragedy of the pavilion as a local historical Museum, to place it in historical exhibition and a "living wall" with names of the dead; renovate memorial Park in koriukivka that already has memorial signs with the names of the occupying Nazi forces burned villages; – install on a new city cemetery (which is now under construction) memorial cross-the bell there and rebury victims of the tragedy. However, these proposals, especially the last one, will discuss with the local community and the clergy. On the one hand, the remains of over 200 victims of the punitive operation already reburied in 2013 in the tract guy, which originally planned the memorial. There they now repose, and the appropriateness of another exhumation can be questioned. On the other hand, the graveyard would be a more accessible place for visitors, including descendants of the victims. According to Alexey Miroshnichenko, V. a. the Chairman of Kryukiv district administration, touching graves is not worth it. The more that I take care of it, there are commemorative events. On the contrary, he plans to initiate an appeal to Zhytomyr and Sumy regional councils to combine financial resources and adequately equip a mass grave in the tract guy. Reference (on materials of the Ukrainian Institute of national remembrance): the tragedy koryukivka is a large — scale punitive action Nazis in world war II in Europe, during which it was completely destroyed the village with all inhabitants. March 1, 1943, in Koryukovka in Chernihiv region came the Nazi punitive expedition. The village was cordoned off, and all the inhabitants were herded into a large house and shot. Later the town, especially those of the house where the murders took place, was set on fire. The action continued the next day, and a week later, on 9 March, the invaders returned to duality koriukivka and to finish off the survivors. In total, the Nazis killed about 7,000 people, burned houses 1290. It is the largest settlement in Europe, completely destroyed by the Nazis as part of the punitive operations during the Second world war. However, this is only one of many cases of destruction by the Nazis settlements on the Ukrainian territory. According to estimates of the Ukrainian Institute of national memory, during the German occupation of Ukraine was destroyed more than 670 settlements on the modern territory of 16 regions of Ukraine and Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Victims of this kind of punitive actions are at least 50 828 killed. During the destruction of Nazi Korukovka detachment of about 300-500 punishers was close to a partisan unit Alexei Fedorov, ranging in size from 3 to 5 thousand soldiers. However, guerrilla commanders headed by Mykola Popudrenko gave the order to protect the population. Despite the scale of the tragedy, in Soviet times, it has become one of the symbols of the Nazi crimes. At the state level anniversary of the Koryukivka tragedy first began genovavia in 2013.
