Community unites for massive clean-up after Russian attack on Academy of Arts in Kyiv: Rubryka’s photo report

Over two hundred people gathered at "Boichukivska Toloka [clean-up – ed.]" in Kyiv's Pechersk district on Saturday, March 30, to clean and prepare for the Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts restoration. The building was severely damaged by Russian shelling.

Non-indifferent citizens of Ukraine, including students from the institution and members of the public organization "Dobrobat," gathered outside the Mykhailo Boychuk Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design. A fragment of a Russian rocket had damaged the building.

The event's purpose was to clean and prepare the premises of the educational institution for further repair and reconstruction.

More than 200 people took part in "Boichukivska Toloka". They clean the surrounding area and take out broken glass and bricks.

Rubryka's photojournalist also participated in a great clean-up. Check out the photo report:

For reference:

On Monday, March 25, the terrorist state of Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv. Thankfully, the air defense forces were able to destroy their targets. Still, unfortunately, pieces of Russian ammunition hit the premises of the Mykhailo Boychuk Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design in Kyiv. This attack resulted in the loss of 80 years worth of artistic resources and diploma theses. The surviving works will require extensive restoration.

It is essential to mention that the Boychuk Academy was once located in the same building as the Kyiv Art and Industrial Technical School. This was the only educational institution in the Soviet Union that offered both secondary and specialized education for designers, with graduates earning the title of "Technician of Artistic Design." The academy was later renamed after the renowned Ukrainian artist and pioneer of his own genre, Mykhailo Boychuk, who was persecuted by the communist regime in the 1930s.
