Monument to Bogdan Khmelnitsky
Ukraine, Donetsk, Proletarsky District, Yubileiny District Square, Bolshaya Magistralnaya Street.
Description:
In honor of the 300th Pereyaslav Rada in Donetsk, in 1954 a monument was erected to Bogdan Mikhailovich Khmelnytsky, the great hetman of Ukraine, the liberator of Ukraine from Polish domination. A copy of the same monument was installed in the city of Ukraine. The monument is a figure of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, sitting on a raised horse. In one hand the hetman has a mace, in the other - the reins of a horse.
The monument was painted with gray paint and made of bronze. In 2010, the monument was under restoration, while the hetman welded a new mace. Now the monument is painted in different colors. The monument stands on a high pedestal made of granite crumb.
The creator of the monument to Bogdan Khmelnytsky is Pavel Pavlovich Geveke.
