Legendary Tachanka, War memorial in Kakhovka, Ukraine
Legendary Tachanka is a war memorial in Kakhovka depicting a horse-drawn machine gun cart with four horses and military figures, rising approximately 8 meters high on a mound. The bronze work is an elaborate representation of the historical vehicle with carefully detailed figures and animals.
The monument commemorates battles at the Kakhovka bridgehead in 1920 between the Red Army and White Guard forces during the Civil War. This conflict marked a decisive moment in establishing Soviet control over the region.
The memorial holds soil from seven cities honored as hero cities during World War II, including Moscow, Kyiv, and Sevastopol. This symbolic gathering connects different places marked by wartime resistance in a single location.
The memorial sits on a mound and is easily visible and accessible from the city center. The location offers views of the surroundings and can be reached on foot from the nearby area.
The tachanka, a horse-drawn machine gun platform, originated in the Ukrainian steppes during military conflicts. This specialized vehicle became legendary in armed combat and is preserved here as a monumental tribute.
