Taras Shevchenko Monument in Warsaw, Memorial statue in Warsaw, Poland
The Taras Shevchenko Monument is a bronze statue showing the Ukrainian poet standing upright on a granite base. The pedestal bears inscriptions in English and Ukrainian along with dedications to the freedom of all captive nations.
The monument was unveiled in 1964 to commemorate the 150th birthday of the poet, who lived from 1814 to 1861. Its placement in Warsaw honors the connection between Ukrainian and Polish cultures and histories.
The monument displays verses by Shevchenko that speak of freedom and independence, showing his influence on Ukrainian literature. The inscriptions in multiple languages connect his personal story to broader ideals of liberation.
The monument sits in central Warsaw and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should take time to read the inscriptions on the base carefully.
Despite its standing in Warsaw, many visitors overlook this monument because it sits in an ordinary city area. The use of four languages on the base is uncommon for memorials in the city and reflects its broad international message.
