Polish soldiers' quarters from 1920 (legionary quarters)

Bajkowa cemetery
ID: NGR-000745-P/799

Polish soldiers' quarters from 1920 (legionary quarters)

Rectangular plot, delimited by a fence in the form of closed pyramidal posts joined by a band and a steel tube at the top. On the front and back two additional posts each, on the front between them the entrance to the quarters. On the deep axis a cross widening at the base stepping into a slab. It sits on the axis of a wall framed on the sides by square-plan posts, which are covered by wider labradorite panels. On the axis, in front of the cross, a plinth covered by a wider granite slab. On the pedestal in front is a bas-relief Virtuti Militari cross. The whole is placed on a forward advancing platform of three cuboidal granite blocks. On the wall are plaques made of dark grey granite with inscriptions on the left side in Ukrainian (2), on the right side in Polish (1). The entire monument is polished, only the cross is surrounded by a matted frame. The square is paved with pavers (as of August 2021), with designated flowerbeds on the sides. To the left of the memorial is a tubular cross with flattened lancet ends. In addition, the memorial is flanked by two forward projecting posts, a remnant of the original quatrefoil. On the right flanking the monument is a brass plaque with an inscription (5). On the left side in front of the post a commemorative plaque, placed diagonally on a low, wider base. The plaque is polished on the axis with the emblem of the Republic of Poland, on the left side an inscription in Ukrainian (3), on the right side in Polish (4). Outside the cemetery there are 17 preserved pedestals of the original fence, now with contemporary tombstones between them.

Comments on the state of preservation and visible restoration:

The original monument was created in 1935 through the efforts of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Kiev. Its photographic documentation has been preserved. Destroyed in 1937, it was partially restored in 1939 and destroyed again in the following years. As the boundaries of the cemetery expanded, new burials were made in its place. At the beginning of the 1990s, a search for the location of the monument began, the location having been indicated by the Berezowski family, who had taken care of the cemetery and the plot before the Second World War. In 1992, care of the site was taken by the Association of Poles "Zgoda", at that time headed by Ms Czesława Raubiszko and Wiktoria Radik. After it was found, a makeshift cross was erected in 1995. In 1997, fragments of the original monument and one of the metal crosses were found. In 1998, a new monument modelled on the pre-war one was erected, and its ceremonial unveiling took place on 11 November 1998. The monument was consecrated by Father Andrew Rak. The work was made possible thanks to the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, the Consulate of the Republic of Poland, the Council for the Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom (the main organiser of the undertaking) and the support of the "Polnord" company, which carried out the construction work. The stonework was carried out by the Kiev workshop "Бєлічі". In 2022, plaques with the names of those buried in the quarters were placed: List of Polish soldiers buried in Kiev in 1920. 1.
