The private factory of Christmas tree toys of the Bakun family is located near Kyiv, in the village of Lubyanka near Hostomel.
In 2007, Vasyl Bakun and his children Ihor and Kateryna established a traditional but more modern production of hand-painted glass Christmas tree balls here.
During the tour, visitors are shown various stages of toy production: blowing balls from glass tubes, silvering the balls with a solution of silver oxide, drying in special ovens, and finally, hand painting, which is done by students of art higher education institutions. Visitors can order a personal drawing or make an inscription on the ball.
The Lubyanka Christmas Tree Decorations Factory produces more than 2,000 types of Christmas tree toys, many of which can be bought in the company store at the manufacturer's price.
On the very first day of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, February 24, 2022, the factory and the village of Lubyanka were occupied by the Russians. Ihor Bakun, the son of the factory's founder, who worked as a glassblower for Christmas tree decorations and gave tours, was shot by the Russian military.
Currently, the Christmas tree decorations factory in Lubyanka does not accept tour groups. Instead, the factory organizes field workshops at schools or kindergartens.
