Together with civil engineer Volodymyr Barulenkov, architect Vadym Hopkal and other artists, Haydamak became a laureate of the Shevchenko Prize for the architectural and artistic decoration of the branch of the Central Museum of Vladimir Lenin in Kyiv. Already after Ukraine gained independence, in 1993, the building became the “Ukrainian House” on the European Square.
Among his most famous works are the Memorial Cross at the site of the Baturyn tragedy in 2004, the Memorial to the Heroes of Krut in 2006, and the Memorial to the Victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933, created in 2008. In 2009, by order of the Cabinet of Ministers, the memorial was created by the National Holodomor Museum.
Anatoly Haydamaka was born on June 9, 1939 in Chernihiv Oblast. In 1961 he graduated from the Kharkiv Art School, in 1967 from the Moscow Higher Art and Industrial School.
Immediately after completing his studies, he began working at the “Kyivproekt” institute as an artist-architect.

“I was offered a job in Volgograd, promised “golden mountains”, but I returned to Ukraine because I didn’t want to “settle” anywhere else, although I had to live in a hostel, and later rent an apartment. First, he worked for three years in the capital at “Kyivproekt” as an architect, and then went to creative work. On his “own bread” he worked both as an architect and as a monumentalist“, said Anatoly Haydamaka.
He helped decorate the interiors of museums, in particular, the Mykhailo Kotsiubinsky Museum, the Mykola Ostrovsky Museum, now renamed the Propaganda Museum, the State Literary Museum in Odesa, and the Chernobyl Museum. He designed both cultural and public buildings – he was engaged in the decoration of the National Bank of Ukraine. He also created monumental works in which he embodied mosaic panels, designed stained-glass windows and painted paintings.
