Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia on the territory of Ukraine, one of the symbols of Ukrainian resistance in the war has become the basic anti-tank barrier, which is a three-dimensional six-ended cross. The hedgehog is made of three pieces of rolled steel in such a way that the beam ends form an octahedron.

Anti-tank hedgehogs of 1941 from the collection of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War became the defence elements for the capital, the city of Kyiv. After 81 years, they are performing their task again.

Edition: 68 copies (the final number of copies is equal to the number of days that the anti-tank hedgehog was placed in the streets before being returned to the museum).
