0:22Now PlayingAs Russia’s attack on Ukraine intensifies, one of the most remarkable — and least internationally known — heritages of any European country is now in acute peril.
Already, a cruise missile that gutted Kharkiv’s city council building also shattered glass and damaged artwork in the nearby Dormition Cathedral, a towering neo-classical church built in the 1820s. Nearby and also at risk is one of the early 20th century’s most remarkable complexes — the Derzhprom Palace of Industry, a crescent of sky-scraping constructivist towers linked by elevated walkways that was the world’s largest building by volume when completed in 1928. Meanwhile, shelling has already damaged a key Kharkiv literary landmark: the city’s Slovo building, built in the 1920s to house writers who revitalized Ukrainian literature before suffering Stalin era persecution.
