Abstract:
The article focuses on the main problems and socio-cultural and political challenges related
to the attitude of the professional community, state bodies and society as a whole to cultural
and artistic monuments. The issues of restoration/revitalization/reconstruction or elimination
of cultural heritage were largely actualized as a result of the direct military invasion of the
Russian invaders on the territory of Ukraine in order to destroy the country, Ukrainian selfidentification and us as a separate, independent nation. The paper provides examples of
complex discussion aspects in relation to artefacts of architecture and art of different political
eras, different ideological orientation, practical significance, material value and the degree of
destruction / preservation in the context of the transformation of society's attitude to them and
the prospects for future post-war reconstruction.
