Kyiv, 1933.
The city goes about its business: people are walking the streets, institutions stay open, and shops open their doors. But behind the familiar urban landscape, hunger is lurking. Exhausted peasants from the surrounding villages are coming to Kyiv. There, they are looking for food and a chance to save themselves, as the city seems like a place where they have a better chance of survival.
But was that really the case?
A person’s ability to obtain food depended on their job, status, and place within the Soviet system. For some, the city could be a lifeline; for others, it was where hope faded.
We invite adults and teenagers to the Holodomor Museum for our interactive historical exhibition ‘City of Hope: Kyiv 1933’, during which we will attempt to see Kyiv in 1933 through the eyes of those who lived there and those who arrived in search of refuge.
DATE: Saturday 22 August
TIME: 4.00 pm (duration: approximately 1 hour)
VENUE: The Holodomor Museum, 15-A Ivana Mazepy Street (10 minutes from ‘Arsenalna’ metro station)
