Restoration of Chernihiv region carried out comprehensively in collaboration with UNESCO
The plans for the restoration of the Chernihiv region were discussed during the meeting between Natalia Kozlovska, the Minister of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure, Viacheslav Chaus, the head of Chernihiv Regional State Administration, and Chiara Dezzi Bardeschi, the head of the UNESCO Office in Ukraine, according to Ukrinform, citing the ministry's press service on Facebook.
"Chernihiv region already has a signed program for comprehensive regional restoration, indicating an understanding of development strategy and the necessary resources. It is extremely important that the region takes diligent care in preserving historical and cultural monuments, as evidenced by the active collaboration with UNESCO experts on the inclusion of Chernihiv's cultural landscape in the World Heritage List," Kozlovska stated.
She added that comprehensive community restoration programs are actively being developed in 10 regions, while in five regions, communities are just beginning this process. The Deputy Minister emphasized that the creation of restoration programs is essential for rebooting the economy in communities affected by Russian military aggression and for the return of Ukrainians to their homes.
Currently, the nomination for "Cultural Landscape of Chernihiv City" plans to include the following objects from the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernihiv": the Complex of Historical Downtown, the former city earth fortification with all relevant structures (Territory of the Ramparts), Yelytsia Hill with the ensemble of Yelets Monastery, the Black Grave Mound, Boldyna Hill with the 10th-century burial mound complex, and the complex of Troitsko-Illinsky Monastery.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, out of 143 educational institutions in Chernihiv Oblast that were affected by armed aggression and shelling, 70 have been fully restored, while repair work is currently underway in 34 institutions.
