The National Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Reserve is drawing in adults and children with attractions involving muskets, bullet casting, and saber fights. The Ministry of Culture is organizing the shows in collaboration with the military-historical reenactment group “Pechersk Hundred” and the “Museum of Travels.”
Staff at the reserve claim that visitors to the monastery will be able to “literally touch history: load a musket, cast bullets, clean antique weapons, and even wield a saber.”
The event program includes archery workshops and saber fencing lessons.
Special tours for children are also being held under the theme “How the Cossacks Defended the Lavra.”
Earlier, the UOJ reported that a cross collapsed from the dome of the Church of All Saints in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The Reserve explained the incident as the result of vibrations caused by Russian shelling.
