Boryspil

The Knyshovy memorial park complex in Boryspil was created in 2007 on the territory of the historical cemetery, where many famous people are buried: ethnographer-folklorist and author of the words of the national anthem of Ukraine Pavlo Chubynsky, Decembrist Vasyl Lukashevych, hero of the Soviet Union Mykhaylo Babkin.

During the Holodomor of 1932-1933, people who died of starvation were buried here. In 1934, the Knyshova Church and Chubynsky's grave were destroyed.

Currently, the territory of the park has been cleaned and arranged, and the creation of a memorial complex is underway. Saint Nicholas Church was rebuilt.
