As part of their weekend activities, cadets from the Faculty of Specialist Training for Pre-trial Investigation Units of the National Police of Ukraine visited cultural events in Dnipro.
The future law enforcers participated in the “Night of Museums” event at the Dnipro National Historical Museum named after D. Yavornytsky. They learned about the museum’s history from 1849 to the 1970s and viewed reconstructed costumes and unique archaeological finds, including an ancient Egyptian mummy dating back to the 1st century BC.
The cadets also visited the “Battle of Dnipro” diorama, dedicated to the most brutal battle of World War II—the crossing of the Dnipro River near the villages of Voiskove and Vovnigi. Besides the central canvas, which spans 840 square meters, the cadets examined remnants of defensive structures, weapons, crossing tools, and other military artifacts from that time. According to the cadets, the meticulously recreated details provide a more concrete understanding of the heroic battle’s progress.
Additionally, the cadets attended the exhibition “Alive. True Love Stories,” dedicated to the fallen Heroes of Ukraine. The artworks in the exhibition reveal stories of families shattered by war. The project is aimed at the widows of the fallen: they meet, communicate, receive psychological support in creative spaces, and can create their own paintings in memory of unfulfilled dreams and plans.
The cadets believe that such initiatives should be developed and supported, as art can be an effective tool for overcoming the psychological consequences of war.
