Building of Regional Youth Center, earlier – Cinema named after Shchors, built in 1939.
Cinema named after Shchors was built in 1939, at that time it was the most equipped movie theatre in the city. Cinema was one of the few buildings of the 1930s that remained in Chernihiv.
During World War II, the building was almost completely destroyed by German troops – only the facade survived. After the war, the cinema was rebuilt, and in 1947 it hosted an open trial of German and Hungarian prisoners of war who committed war crimes.
In 2017, the building was restored and turned into a Social Partnership Hub, a public platform for education, training, consultations, negotiations. Since 2017, the Chernihiv Regional Youth Center has been working in the premises.
On February 27th, 2022, Russian occupying troops destroyed the monument with a missile strike.
