Vul. Pasichna – Hill of Glory

Located above Lychakiv Park on vul. Pasichna, the site formerly known as the Hill of Glory is Sector No. 87 of the Field of Mars (Honored Burials). It was designated in 2025 for the burials of Ukrainian service members who died during the Russian war against Ukraine. This was preceded by the dismantling of the Soviet Red Army Soldiers Memorial, which had stood on this site since 1952. Originally, the territory was allocated for a military cemetery established by the Russian authorities in 1914–1915 for the burial of soldiers who died in the Battle of Galicia.
