From the height of the subway Poshtova ploscha by descending towards the south the border of the Dnieper is extremely woody. A succession of parks offers beautiful walks. At the bottom of Khreshchatyk Street, a trail leads to the park of the same name where one of the most impressive, and least aesthetic, sculptures in Kiev is found. It is the arc of friendship, erected in 1982 and dedicated to the union of Russia and Ukraine. In the middle, two statues representing two Russian and Ukrainian workers bear in their hands the symbol of friendship among peoples. At night this arc shines from different colors like a rainbow. The arc is on a panoramic terrace from which you can see the Podil, the Dnieper and the neighbourhoods on the other side of the Dnieper. The monument is one of the subjects of the debate between supporters of the capital's décommunisation, which began following the Euromaïdan of 2013-2014, and the inhabitants of the capital who, according to the latest polls, once again refused to dismantle the Arc.

Il est certainement un monument different . Il est si pas beau que il est beau. Avant il, vous pouvez prendre un bon panoramique de la ville . Plus beau si tu le regardes depuis un bateaux dans la nuit. En Août quand nous sommes allés il n'a pas été possible de prendre des photos du monument car une partie a été couverte pour un petit parc d'attractions.

Arche pas terrible (=de l'amitié entre les peuples), dans un joli parc, se voit de loin. Sous cet arche, des statues assez laides, imposées par les soviétiques. En application de la Loi qui vise à détruire ces monuments imposés à une époque révolue, tout cela devrait disparaître un jour, tant mieux. Visite gratuite, sans interêt, (sauf le parc), moins laid de loin que de prèss.
