Kharkiv Forest Park (Lisopark)
Kharkiv Forest Park is considered the largest of its kind in Ukraine and one of the country’s crown-ing jewels in terms of natural beauty. Old oaks, lindens, maples, spruces, and pines grow here.
In addition to the rich flora and fauna, the park offers numerous recreational facilities and a chil-dren's railroad, the Little Southern Railway, which was inaugurated in 1940.
There are also a number of monuments in the park. In 2000, a Ukrainian-Polish memorial was erected here to commemorate the victims of totalitarianism. The monument features columns with the names of Soviet citizens and Polish soldiers who were shot by the NKVD in the years 1938-1940 and interred in mass graves in the forest park. According to various sources, more than 10000 victims lie buried here. The memorial site Memorial'nyj kompleks Slavy (Memorial Complex of Glory) from 1977 is one of the key sites of remembrance of the Second World War in Kharkiv. This place is dedicated to the Soviet soldiers and civil-ians who died during the Second World War.
