A large-scale Soviet offensive operation to liberate Kiev from Fascist invaders unfolded in the autumn of 1943 with the offensive of the 1st Ukrainian front armies, which took the city by storm on November 6. The capital of Ukraine was occupied by Germans for 776 days. The city lay in ruin. Before the war it had a population of nearly 1 million, but after the liberation there were only 183,000 residents left there.

Interesting fact

The Liberation of Kiev from Fascist Invaders coin was issued in 1993 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Kiev from German occupation during World War II.
