The article proposes to consider the routes of the Decembrist sites in the city of Tulchyn, Vinnytsia region, highlights the historical memory of them in the life of the Ukrainian society, emphasizes the feasibility of preserving their inheritance for posterity. One of the areas of study and promotion of modern Decembrist science is local lore. At the present stage, as the tourist industry grows, its functionaries want to know in what state the monuments of one or another historical epoch have been preserved. Existing local history literature does not always satisfy the demand of sightseers, because new requests of society are much wider and more extensive. The problem of tourism in places of the Decembrists in Vinnytsia region has a solid domestic literature. Its appearance is related to the scientific work of researchers of the 20–70’s of the twentieth century. V. Bazylevych, D. Bahalii, L. Dobrovolskyi, M. Lysenko, L. Medvedska, H. Serhienko considered the Decembrists’ stay in more than 280 settlements of Ukraine, including in 30 cities and villages of Vinnytsia. In 1980–1990 local subjects were covered by T. Podlasko, D. Malakova, O. Kopayhorodska, M. Nedobii, A. Silkin, and Y. Latysh. M. and H. Kazmirchuk also turned to this problem, having prepared a series of brochures. Most of the material monuments of December’s time are preserved, of course, in Tulchyn, where local authorities pay a lot of attention to the preservation and restoration of these unique structures. Among them, the Pestel House, the Decembrist ideologist and head of the Southern Society, should be placed first. However, some Decembrist sites have not survived to our time. Thus, the house of O.P. Yushnevskyi, one of the directors of the Southern Society, whose photograph was in the local history museum (we hope it has been preserved) was destroyed. The memorial plaque from P.I. Pestel’s house has disappeared. Time inexorably destroys the material values of the Decembrist era, we must preserve them. This is our history and human memory of people who wanted to improve the lives of our distant ancestors.
