Monument to Mykhailo Hrushevskyi, Kyiv

The Monument to Mykhailo Hrushevskyi is a bronze statue showing the historian dressed in traditional clothing and positioned on a granite base. The pedestal bears inscriptions that document his scholarly contributions to Ukrainian historical research.

The monument was unveiled in 1998 and honors a scholar who led the first central government body between 1917 and 1918. His research and writings continue to influence how Ukraine views its own historical independence and development.

The statue honors a prominent historian whose scholarly work shaped how Ukrainians understand their own past. You can sense this influence in how locals regard the monument as a symbol of national self-understanding.

The monument sits near the Pedagogical Museum and is accessible on foot from nearby streets. A protective shelter was installed to safeguard the statue, so you can see it from the front even during times of local disruption.

The protective shelter features artistic outlines of the statue drawn on its exterior by a local artist. These outlines bear visible marks from nearby impacts, turning the shelter itself into a work of art that reflects recent events.
