A monumental female statue with a shield and a sword glorifying victory in the Great Patriotic War. The monument is part of a memorial complex dedicated to the history of the Second World War (the official name is the Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II). This is one of the largest expositions in Ukraine. The height of the monument is 102 meters. When creating, it was assumed that the statue would last 150 years and be able to withstand during a major earthquake.

Museum door guards very rude while we were in the lobby desiring if we go or not into the place. We leave and we did not get in.
Interesting corner with a Soviet taste.

It's incredibly imposing & it dominates the skyline for some distance to the west of the city.
Beneath it is a museum, which I did not have time to enter.
There are a number of imposing sculptures, relating to the Soviet struggle in WW2 - i.. Read more »t's something really worth seeing & I recommend it to all travellers who might have an interest in the history of the Soviet union during that period.
The statue itself is floodlit at night - it then becomes even more imposing, alongside an absolutely huge flag pole, on which flies the Ukrainian flag, which is also floodlit at night.
The grounds are part of what was once a huge 19th century fortress.
I recommend it to all travellers coming to Kiev

Monumental statue and park around offer great views of Kyev. Whole park is very clean and has breathtaking atmosphere. Everything is so large and you feel how small are you as a human being.

The flow of the museum is a bit awkward. It zig zags back and forth instead of flowing naturally. My favorite part was the exhibit about the current conflict in eastern Ukraine.
