ABSTRACT
This chapter offers an overview of war memorials in Ukraine. Our approach here is to stay close to the ground by discussing existing war memorials in all their diversity, as well as some of the associated local practices. In contrast to studies that focus primarily on national-level memory politics, we leave treatment of grand historical narratives and mnemonic controversies until after this empirical survey. At the end of the chapter, we offer a detailed discussion of recent changes to war memorials in rural Ukraine, which are particularly relevant to our topic.
