Abstract
The article analyzes the memorialization of the Holocaust in Minsk and Kiev. In spite of the general policy of the Soviet government toward the Jewish population, the level of state and popular anti-Semitism varied indifferent Soviet republics, which affected the memorialization of the Holocaust. In the capital of Belorussia, Minsk, a monument to the victims of the Holocaust was erected in 1946. Ukrainian Soviet authorities did not allow any monument to be built in Babi Yar (Kiev) until 1976. The strong state and popular anti-Semitism in Ukraine was the main reason for the delay in the memorialization of the Holocaust in Kiev for many years.
