In the house of Ukrainian artist Polina Raiko, 30-40% of the mural remains - the rest was destroyed by the flood

This was reported by Semen Khramtsov, a representative of Polina Raiko's charity fund.

Polina Raiko is a self-taught Ukrainian artist, a representative of outsider art. She started painting at the age of 69, and in a few years, she painted her own house, outdoor kitchen, gates, fence, and garage doors. She used the simplest and cheapest paints for this. 

The value of these works was confirmed by both Ukrainian and foreign art critics. Raiko's work is put on a par with the art of such Ukrainian artists as Mariia Prymachenko and Kateryna Bilokur. 

After the artist's death in 2004, her house was purchased by a couple of art admirers from Canada, thanks to whom the house with the drawings was preserved. This house is located on the left bank of the Dnipro River, in the temporarily occupied Oleshky. After the floods caused by the destruction of the Kakhovska HPP, the house was flooded.

Now, the water level in the town has dropped. This allowed locals to enter the building and find that a large part of the mural paintings had been destroyed and the interior walls had collapsed.
