Original Note:
OP is correct, for decades after the war, there was no memorial at Babyn Yar. The Soviets installed a monument but omitted that the majority of those who died there were Jewish. It wasn't until Ukraine got its independence in 1991, a menorah-shaped monument was erected. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/kiev-and-babi-yar
