Statue of Taras Shevchenko in Poltava, Monument to Ukrainian poet in Central Poltava, Ukraine.
The monument features a 1.8-meter figure of Taras Shevchenko atop a 3.2-meter pedestal, constructed from reinforced concrete in constructivist style.
The statue was inaugurated on March 12, 1926, and underwent restoration after sustaining damage during World War II, maintaining its presence in front of the Museum.
The memorial stands as a testament to Taras Shevchenko's contributions to Ukrainian literature, with his visits to Poltava inspiring his novel The Twins.
Located near Petrovskyi Park, the monument provides a central meeting point for visitors exploring the Museum of Local Lore and surrounding historical buildings.
Sculptor Ivan Kavaleridze designed the monument using asymmetrical planes and geometric volumes, creating a distinctive interpretation of the Ukrainian literary figure.
