Since Ukraine achieved independence in 1991, the controversial politics of memory has influenced, in relation to heroes,  accomplices, and victims, not only building of memorials but also different perception of them, which ranges from veneration to  vandalism. This essay focusses on Soviet politics of memory in Ukraine with respect to the Second World War, and its influence  on tourism. The project is aimed at analysing the role of Soviet discourse about the war, while presenting tragic historical events  in museums and memorial sites which are important resources for  tourism. Documents from archives of the Communist Party of  Ukraine and the Soviet travel agency Intourist were assessed. In the case of this essay, determinant is the fact that tourism and  commemorative practices as cultural and social phenomena related to the Second World War intertwine and influence each other.
