Legendary Tachanka, War memorial in Kakhovka, Ukraine

The bronze monument features a horse-drawn machine gun cart with four horses and military figures, standing 8 meters tall on a mound.

The monument commemorates the battles at the Kakhovka bridgehead in 1920 between the Red Army and White Guard forces during the Civil War.

The memorial contains capsules with soil from seven cities that received hero status during World War II, including Moscow, Kiev, and Sevastopol.

The monument weighs 120 tons and required special transportation across the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam when it arrived from Leningrad in 1967.

The memorial represents a tachanka, a horse-drawn platform with mounted machine guns, which originated in the Ukrainian steppes during military conflicts.
