Statue of Saint Michael in Donetsk, Religious monument in Donetsk, Ukraine.

The sculpture depicts Archangel Michael as a slender young man in a long flowing cloak, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. It was created by architects Heorhiy Kurovsky, Volodymyr Priymak, Ruslan Kukharenko and sculptor Mykola Oliynyk. Since May 2002 it has stood by the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral in Donetsk.

The sculpture by architect Heorhiy Kurovsky and sculptor Mykola Oliynyk first stood on Kyiv's Independence Square on a white Italian marble column. It was removed in 2001 and given to Donetsk instead of Kharkiv; Donetsk reciprocated with a copy of the Mertsalov palm. It was unveiled in May 2002 by the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral, with Kyiv mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko present.

The archangel Michael is the heavenly patron of Kyiv, and the statue was a gift from Kyiv residents to the people of Donetsk, as the inscription on the pedestal states. It was unveiled in May 2002 at the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral in the presence of Kyiv mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko. Donetsk gave Kyiv a copy of the Mertsalov palm in return.

The statue is located on Artema Street opposite building number 129 b, making it easy to spot and reach from the street. The site is accessible during daylight hours and offers an open public space for visiting.

The statue was a gift from Kyiv to Donetsk, exchanged for a copy of the Mertsalov palm; Kyiv's mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko attended the May 2002 unveiling at the Transfiguration Cathedral. The pedestal inscription, in Ukrainian, asks heavenly powers to protect Donetsk residents on behalf of Kyivans.
