Museum "Roman Shukhevych Underground Headquarters"

Museum / gallery

The memorial museum "Roman Shukhevych Underground Headquarters" in the village of Kniahynychi near Rohatyn is a branch of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Museum of the Liberation Struggle named after Stepan Bandera. Opened in 2007 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the UPA Commander-in-Chief Roman Shukhevych.

In 1946-1947, the underground headquarters of the UPA operated in Kniahynychi. He was located in the former postman's house – in a conspiratorial apartment, which had the code name "Korolenko".

The museum exposition in this building was created on the initiative and based on the memories of the former bodyguard of the UPA commander, political prisoner Lyubomyr Polyuha.

Three museum rooms reproduce the interior of that time: wardrobe, table, chairs, beds, sewing machine, table lamp, dishes. Among Shukhevych's personal belongings, his cap, razor and badge are on display.

Documents, photos and personal belongings of other underground workers are presented. Lyubomyr Polyuha presented the museum with his own shirt, which his wife embroidered for him with herringbone, when the couple was serving time in Soviet correctional labour camps.
