Мonument to Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky

In the centre of Sophiyska Square is the monument to Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky, the national hero of Ukraine and leader of the people's liberation war of 1648-1654.

The authors of this equestrian statue are M.Mike­shin (sculptor) and V.Nikolaev (archi­tect). The monument was erected in 1881-88. The renowned commander is restraining the restive horse with his left hand, and with the hetman’s mace in his right hand he is pointing in the direction of Moscow.

The history of this monument is not that simple. It was made on donations collected by means of subscription lists. When the bronze statue was brought to Kyiv, it appeared that there was not enough money for the pedestal. So the monument to Bohdan Khmel­nit­sky had to be «under arrest» for another six years in the yard of the neighbouring Building of Offices until the architect V.Nikolaev allotted for this purpose the stone blocks that had remained after the construction of the Chain Bridge in Kyiv. The pedestal was made of those blocks in the form of a Cossack burial mound similar to the steppe barrows erected over the graves of the perished Zaporozhian Cossacks.

The monument's unveiling took place in 1888, during celebration of the 900th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus. The monument was encircled with a metal fence and lanterns, to the design by V.Nikolaev. Later the fence disappeared and was renewed only in 1998, 110 years later, during the reconstruction of Sophiyska Square.

Памятник гетьману Украины Богдану Хмельницкому на Софийской площади доступен к обзору круглый год. Богдан Хмельницкий - в отношении его достижений и вклада в историю пожалуй споров больше, чем согласия... Сложно сказать, как на месте гетьмана Украины Богдана Хмельницкого повел бы себя кто-то другой. И к каким последствиям для Украины это могло бы привести... Это не должно повториться!!! Рекомендую посмотреть! Рядом - собор София Киевская. Чуть дальше - памятник княгине Ольге, Михайловский златоверхий собор и монастырь, киевский фуникулер (верхняя станция), Министерство иностранных дел Украины, памятный знак жертвам голодомора 1932-1933 годов. Если вы считаете, что ваше здоровье не такое прочное как памятник Богдану Хмельницкому? и нужно знать больше информации что стоит делать чтобы жить лучше и дольше? ищите на YouTube видео каналы «Доктор Скачко», «Школа доктора Скачко». а также канал «Школа доктора Скачко» в Instagram.
