Памятник Чекистам, Soviet memorial at Lybidska Square, Ukraine
The monument consisted of a vertical granite stele featuring carved faces of two revolution fighters, standing at the center of Lybidska Square in Kyiv.
Built in 1967 on Dzerzhinsky Square, now Lybidska Square, the monument honored Soviet security service members who died during the establishment of Soviet power.
The monument, created by Ukrainian sculptor Vasyl Boroday, represented a significant period in the history of Kyiv until its removal in 2016.
The monument stood in a central location near major transportation routes, making it a reference point for navigation through the city streets.
The memorial featured an inscription dedicated to security service members, carved directly into the granite surface alongside the sculptured faces.
