We should live that long…. 100 years?
Ukrainian billionnaire Michael Fridman established Fridman Family Museum in Kharkiv with huge astonishing collection of old weapons. I wonder whether it might survive bombing and impending looting….
Late Vitaly Shlaifer establised a similar museum in Zaporizhya. Same concerns.
Denis Toichkin published 3 highest quality books on Ukrainian weapons with materials from local museums. The fate of those museums and that of the author is unknown and uncertain.
Ukraine had rich military history, from Khazars and Mongols to Cossacks. How much of the artefacts will manage to survive?
