Babi Yar will have ‘high scale emotional component’ but no role-playing
In a recent conversation with the Post, Khrzhanovsky asserted emphatically that these allegations were false.
“What is critical is that no psychological experiments will be conducted with the viewer. No recreation of suffering will take place,” said the director.

In the meantime, Khrzhanovsky has yet to complete the concept for the main exhibition of the museum, but says it will be finalized and presented to the board by the end of the year.
And he was keen to talk about the archival and research aspects of the initiative, which will make records, videos and documentation from the era that have not previously been seen available to the public.
One project, “Babyn Yar: Context,” will make available a large resource of video materials from Ukrainian, Russian and German state and private archives, from the period around the Babi Yar atrocities.
These video materials and testimonies will eventually be made into a feature-length documentary film, episodes of which will become part of a video installation in the museum’s permanent exposition.
Khrzhanovsky also talked of the memorial center’s archival research, which project officials say has successfully verified the identities of more than 3,000 victims of the Babi Yar massacre, 834 of whom were never previously identified as having been murdered there.
“We are working on multiple, multi-faceted projects, each of which systemizes the history of the place and the history of the victims, through the use of incredible human and other resources, studying the archives, and digitizing hundreds of thousands of documents,” he said. “This work is key, because it is a memorial to the people who died there.
