The Baikove Cemetery in Kyiv. Nerby the graves of Polish soldiers

On May 3, 1935, the cemetery of Polish soldiers killed in the outskirts of Kyiv in 1920 during the Polish-Bolshevik war was opened. It was the only orderly Polish military cemetery in the USSR at that time. A few years later it was destroyed. Maria Bondziuk-Berezowska, who remembered the monument from before the war and lived to see free Ukraine, passed on her memories to local Poles. Thanks to the efforts of the Kyiv National and Cultural Association of Poles "Zgoda" and the Polish diplomatic mission, it was possible to erect a new monument and restore the memory of this place.
