During their free time, cadets from the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs (DSUIA) actively engage in the city’s cultural life.
Over the weekend, cadets from the Faculty of Pre-Trial Investigation Specialists visited a museum dedicated to the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. They explored weaponry, military equipment, photographs, documents, and personal belongings of fallen soldiers. Such museums serve as a reminder of the high cost of freedom and independence that Ukraine is fighting for.
The future law enforcement officers also visited the Memorial House-Museum of Dmytro Yavornytsky, one of the most significant cultural landmarks in modern Dnipro. The cadets toured the exhibition room, examining scientific works, documents, and personal belongings of the former owner. The interior has been restored to its appearance during the historian’s lifetime, offering a comprehensive view of his daily life and personal interests.
Additionally, the cadets visited the Dnipropetrovsk branch of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, where they viewed an exhibition of contemporary art. The exhibition provided an insight into the history and techniques used in the artworks. According to the cadets, some paintings impressed them with their beauty, others with their complexity, and some simply made them reflect.
The cadets also attended the art exhibition “Earth Under My Nails Reminds Me of Dried Blood.” Each piece strikes with emotional depth and honesty, portraying the experiences of women who survived the tragic events of the war in Ukraine.
“The artworks are living testimonies of stories that remain unknown to many. Overall, the exhibition emphasizes the importance of preserving women’s voices in art amidst war and occupation,” shared the future law enforcement officers.
