After the explosion, the park was turned into an exhibition at the Dovzhenko Film Studio
After the Russian missile strike on the Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv, a piece of metal fence—which had been wrapped around a tree by the blast wave—was not removed but left in place as a symbol of the war’s aftermath. Later, it was decided to show this object to visitors during tours as a kind of reminder of the attack.
An unusual “exhibit” appeared on the grounds of the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio in Kyiv following the Russian missile strike — a twisted piece of metal fence that had been torn from the ground by the blast wave and literally wrapped around a tree trunk in an apple orchard.
This was reported by Kyiv-based tour guide and blogger Tetyana Litvinenko, who explained that the structure ended up there after a ballistic missile struck near the film studio. According to her, they decided not to remove the damaged fragment but to leave it in place as evidence of the incident that occurred during the attack. “A new exhibit for tourists has appeared in Dovzhenko’s Garden at the Kyiv Film Studio. We certainly didn’t order it, but it was ‘gifted’ to us by monsters from the swamp,” Litvinenko noted.
She also described the nature of the damage, emphasizing the force of the shock wave: “Here is a section of the iron fence that has wrapped itself around a tree. In other words, the shock wave ripped the fence out of the ground and hurled it onto the tree after a ballistic missile struck nearby.”
Later, she said, they decided to incorporate this piece of debris into the film studio’s tour route as a visual reminder of the consequences of war, as well as part of the space that visitors can see with their own eyes. “Now this ‘exhibit’ in Dovzhenko’s apple orchard will be shown during tours. We’ll make it happen!” she added. This was reported by Kyiv tour guide Tetyana Litvinenko.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, together with Bernadette Castel-Hollingsworth, representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Ukraine, and Natalia Gurzhiy, chair of the board of the “Rokada” Charitable Foundation, Natalia Gurzhiy, opened the country’s first municipal facility in the capital to provide support and assistance to internally displaced persons, refugees, and those seeking protection.
