PARK OF ETERNAL GLORY (ВIЧНОÏ ПАРК ВIЧНОÏ)
Located on a hill on the banks of the Dnieper River, this monumental park is the memorial site for the victims of the Second World War. The heart of the park is the Victory Obelisk, erected in 1957 at the foot of which is the monument to the unknown soldier.
In 2003, the monument to the Holodomor, the great famine caused by Stalin that claimed the lives of millions of Ukrainians (between 2.6 and 5 million depending on sources) between 1932-1933, was added to the ensemble. Holdomor literally means "extermination by hunger", a genocide of Russification not recognized by the UN.
