On the morning of November 6, 1943, the Red Army liberated Kiev after 2 years of cruel occupation by the genocidal Nazis and their fascist allies and collaborators. 

The barbaric invaders destroyed monuments and buildings, as well as executing thousands of civilians as they were forced to retreat, but they would never return.
