Missile forces museum

Excursion in Kiev

Tour Price : 50-70 $ Duration : 1 day Languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian

It’s not much of a big secret that Ukraine used to be a powerful nuclear region during the Soviet period. It used to house strategic missile launch sites that were built all across the country during the Cold War. And even today, over 20 years since Ukraine has become a country free of nuclear weapons, there are still places that remind of this dangerous period. The Strategic Rocket Forces Museum is one of such places, and if you want to know what danger the world was in during the arms race period, this is exactly the place to learn it.

This is a very unique guided tour in Kiev that shows you the dark side of Ukraine's history, some just want to forget about. Yet, if you are unable to learn from the mistakes of the past, the future may become really challenging and grim. The professional guides, some of which have served at strategic secret sites during the Soviet period, will show you the parts of the immensely devastating weapons this land has housed, and tell you what disastrous potential scenarios could be triggered if only a single missile of this kind would be launched. Walk among the parts and remains of the most horrid weapons of mass destruction and imagine what the world would be like if it had taken a wrong turn.

Don’t miss this excellent and somewhat frightening opportunity to turn the dark page of our history.
