Article by: Christine ChraibiAmid mounting evidence pointing towards Russia’s responsibility for the explosive destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, the Polina Raiko Home-Museum vanishes beneath the surging waters, forever erasing its vibrant paintings and irreplaceable cultural heritage that both Ukrainian and foreign art critics compare to the masterpieces of Mariya Prymacheko and Kateryna Bilokur.
Following the Kakhovka Dam explosion, the Polina Raiko Home-Museum was submerged underwater, as reported by Semen Khramtsov, an artist and the representative of the Polina Raiko Kherson Regional Charitable Foundation.
“I believe that the house with the frescoes is underwater. The neighbours said the first floor of their house was flooded, which means that Polina Raiko’s home will be submerged up to the roof.”
