Vasyl Poryk Historical Museum

Museum / gallery

The Historical Museum named after Vasyl Poryk was created in 1972, now it is a communal institution of the Khmilnytskyi City Council.

The museum is named after the Hero of the Soviet Union and the national hero of France Vasyl Poryk (pseudonym "Basil"), who was born in 1920 in the village of Solomirka (now the village of Poryk).

After being captured by the Germans during World War II, he found himself in the Beaumont concentration camp in France, where he organized an underground struggle against the Nazis, and later escaped and formed a guerrilla unit that became part of the Resistance Movement.

The museum has more than a thousand items. The main exposition tells about the life and military career of Vasyl Poryk. The central exhibit is a diorama depicting the defeat of the Beaumont camp by Poryk's detachment and the release of prisoners in April 1944.

The museum also has exhibits about the national Hero of Poland Volodymyr Tushevsky, a prototype of one of the heroes of the movie "Four Tankmen and a Dog", who was born in the village of Poryk.
