On October 3, 2021 at 5 p.m. on the territory of the National Reserve "Sophia of Kyiv" an artistic multimedia event "Kharakternyk" will take place.
14 warriors from 14 historical regions of Ukraine will take part in the event. Defenders will take part in an ethnic show in ancient embroidered shirts (which are more than 100 years old from the collection of historian Volodymyr Shchybri) and will tell their personal story from the war. We aim to present the military, emphasizing their identical Ukrainian codes, the spirit of characterization.
The event will be accompanied by an animated sandy illusion of elements of characterization:

Bukovina - an eagle
Volyn is a falcon
Galicia - a lion
Carpathians and Transcarpathia - a bear
Dnieper region - a catfish

Tavriya and the Black Sea coast - a bison
