- I start the day off with a quick stop at a great mosaic at the Ukrainian Cancer Institute. Then, I go to Baikove Cemetery for a Halloween Day walk to see some of Ukraine's most celebrated people from the the past and pay my respects to one of Ukraine's biggest legends.

Thank you very much for respecting and being interested in our Ukrainian history.Your blogs are very interesting, we like to watch them!)Big thanks!
My grandparents were cremated there in the early 90's, when the crematorium buildings were still brand-spanking-new. Grandpa was a war hero who was 'awarded' two spots at Baikove by the Communist Party. Kind of like a lifetime achievement award :) But by the time they died, Soviet Union was no more, and since we didn't know anybody in high places, all my family was able to get for them was two of those small spaces like you saw on the side of the hill. So they had to get cremated.
Those crematorium buildings are just three separate ceremony halls. The casket podium is actually an elevator mechanism, so the family gathers around it, says their good-byes, and then the casket is lowered down, giving the whole ceremony an impression of a proper burial. The actual crematorium ovens where they burn the bodies are either underground or completely off site, I can't remember now.
You are awesome, your Ukrainian is great , respect for what you do , for showing real deep Ukrainian culture,

Thanks for video, Bruce! Did you found Mykola Lukash tomb occasionally? He was great person.
A genius poet and translater!
What was it, the man spoke 9 languages? Man was a legend.
Bryce Walker He translated from 20 languages, definitely legendary man.
Speaking of the crematoria. It might look not so frightening until you see how it works. I mean the public part, thanks gods i've never seen the internal part... When the coffin is going down with this chains mechanism sound... Tht's really creepy. I'm not blaming in any way, I just want to add a piece of a picture.
Thank you very much for this video... There's also a huge memorial wall covered with mosaics, about a couple hundred feet long ... that was ordered by the communist party to be covered with cement to hide some symbols that communists thought were "inappropriate to communist ideals." Artists and activists are working on it now days to uncover it... It might take a couple of years to be accomplished. People say the mosaics are very talented and worth that effort.
Виктор Чанов не просто футболист - это легенда "Динамо" (Киев). Ну, и как вратарю сделали ему соответствующую позу.
