The main part of the exhibition was dedicated to the 1979–1989 Soviet War in Afghanistan. The exhibition was opened only after serious scientific research had been carried out and active work on creation of the holdings had been done. Employees of the Museum went for research trips to all the regions of Ukraine, to most member states of the former USSR and even to Afghanistan. The exhibition was the first of its kind in the Commonwealth of Independent States (a loose union that comprises a majority of the member states of the former USSR). |
