The London Museum opened a photo exhibition: Kyiv-2022 and London-1940

"Blitz moon: underground shelters in Ukraine and London" is the name of the photo exhibition that opened at the London Transport Museum.

It collected 70 photos from the archives, in which Londoners are hiding from the Luftwaffe bombings in the 1940s, and modern photos of the residents of Ukraine, forced to go down to the subway during the Russian attacks.

image captionIt is noteworthy that at the start of the Second World War the British government did not want to allow people to hide in underground stations: they thought it was more important to keep the trains running. But the people went to the subway, the press and the parliament protested, and the authorities had to retreat.

image captionIn London, air raid alarms sounded almost every day from September 1940 to May 1941, and again between June 1944 and March 1945. Residents usually hid in the underground. In Kyiv, at the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022, about 40 thousand people hid in the subway every day
