Thanks to V.D.Elizarov’s petition, during the reconstruction and restoration of the main street of Kiev until the end of the 20th century, the building of the old post office (5 Khreschatyk St.), which had survived the war, was not demolished. During the reconstruction in 1955-1958, a pedestrian gallery was set up in this house, which stood for the "red line". Unfortunately, this house was demolished in the early 2000s in order to build a “skyscraper” in its place. In 1964, in collaboration with N. B. Chmutina and other architects, Victor Dmitrievich designed the Dnepr hotel (1/2 Khreshchatyk St.).

In collaboration with colleagues, V. D. Elizarov designed many structures in Kiev, among them: the complex of the new Kiev Zhuliany airport (1946-1949), the railway club in Darnitsa (1950), the printing plant on Brest-Litovsky Prospekt (now Victory Avenue , 1958-1965).

In 1953, Viktor Dmitrievich defended his thesis "Thin-walled ceramics in the architecture of residential buildings" ^[2] , in 1963 he defended his doctoral dissertation ^[3] . Among the scientific works that have become classical in architecture were “Building seven-year plan for Ukraine” (1960), “Ways to further develop industrialization, improve the quality and reduce the cost of housing construction in Kiev” (1962), “Construction and architecture. Dwelling houses ”(1964),“ Mass housing construction ”(1966).

He led the scientific activities of the Academy's institutes in the field of developing new progressive types of housing, in particular the activities of the Kiev Civil Engineering Institute (now the Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture ), the Scientific Research Institute of Architecture of Structures, and Institutes - Kievproject and Giprograd. From 1964 to 1975, V. D. Elizarov was the deputy, and then the first deputy chairman of the Gosstroy of the Ukrainian SSR.

The construction of the memorial complex “Ukrainian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” (now the National Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 ) begins in the early 1970s. His pre-project was developed by sculptor E. Vuchetich and architect E. Stamo . Victor Elizarov led the creative team of leading architects in Kiev and Moscow. The architect coped with the task and starting from May 9, 1981 Kiev is no longer represented without the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, the monument "Motherland" . For a significant contribution to the creation of the memorial complex of V. D. Elizarov and other project participants were awarded the Lenin Prize (1984).

During the construction of the museum on the slopes of the Dnieper was created Pechersky landscape park . On its territory paved paths, arranged recreation areas, broke lawns and flower beds. In the late 1980s, in the central part of the park, the Singing Field was created.
