Only posts about Ukraine are not based on my actual travel.
Kyiv has many mural paintings, and Sergii introduces them on the web.

Support Ukraine Explore street art in Kyiv. Starting from 2014 large murals have been appearing across Kyiv and now they decorate narrow lanes and wide avenues in different parts of the city. These artworks are made by both international and local artists and they put Kyiv on the international street art map.
Press the pointer to see the mural photo. On Google Maps Street View, I tried to check what kind of environment is the place of a mural.

I found some murals. But strangely, I only discovered the wall without a mural in many places.
The date when Google Maps shot the street view of Kyiv was 2015. In 2014, "Euromaidan Revolution" ousted President Yanukovych. Then, in March of that year, Russia annexed Crimea. Sergii' writes that the mural movement started in 2014 and mentions no motive. But by all means, it is a manifestation of nationalism toward the annexation. That's why Street View in 2015 didn't record completely since the movement was just beginning.
The mural of Serhiy Nigoyan, who was the first victim of the "Euromaidan Revolution" is the following photo.

Like the Mexican mural movement in the early 20th century, a mural was a strong medium for not only the viewer but also the painter to infuse his ethnic thoughts. The enthusiasm of the Ukrainians to realize so many murals in 5 or 6 years shows their strong will.
