Памятник Станиславу Косиору, Bronze monument in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Stanislav Kosior Monument is a bronze statue located at the intersection of Artema and Hlybochytska Streets in Kyiv. The figure rises about 5.7 meters tall and sits atop a solid square base with engraved text.
The monument was inaugurated on April 29, 1970, and originally featured a granite bust. In 1984, authorities decided to replace the original bust with a bronze version.
The monument displays Soviet-era memorial traditions through its square pedestal, which bears inscriptions about Stanislav Kosior's political role. Visitors can observe the typical design choices of that period in the pedestal's details.
The monument is easy to reach and located near public transport stops in central Kyiv. Visitors can explore the surrounding area and combine it with other historical sites nearby.
The monument was removed during the night of November 20, 2008, leaving only the pedestal with traces of removed lettering. These marks show where the bronze figure once stood and reflect a significant shift in the city.
