Lühikirjeldus: Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014, marking 12 years of war with 4 years of full-scale invasion. The number of defenders killed reached 55000. Ukrainian society wants to honour their memory and engrave the history of these events. There is no official state policy regulating memory preservation, yet a long-established grassroots practice of spatial commemoration persists. This thesis examines memory preservation during the Russian-Ukrainian war by analysing a memorial on Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kyiv, established in 2022. This unofficial memorial commemorating the "history of now" has gained the symbolic status of a national memorial without legal status. The research examines the conditions under which grassroots memorials can become institutionalised without losing their symbolic power, testing the hypothesis that institutionalisation hinders established rituals of commemoration within the urban fabric.
