Kiev Archive Museum of Transitional Period
Kiev Archive Museum of Transitional Period was a propaganda museum whose establishment was sanctioned by German occupants on March 26, 1942. The museum existed in April - October 1942. Its expositions demonstrated "achievements" of the German occupation and crimes of Joseph Stalin's regime. The museum's director was a famous Ukrainian historian Oleksandr Ohloblyn who used this opportunity to organize an exhibition about cultural monuments destroyed by Bolsheviks. Several historians, such as Oleksandr Hruzynsky, Svitozar Drahomanov, Natalia Polonska-Vasylenko etc. were appointed scientific advisors of the museum. Some of the city archive fonds were transferred to the museum.
However, the propaganda effect of the museum was very low, and the museum was soon closed.Literature
