Monument in honour of Ukrainian SSR foundation in Kharkiv, Historical monument in Constitution Square, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The monument features strong vertical lines and geometric shapes representing Soviet architectural design principles of the 1970s in eastern Ukraine.
Constructed in 1975, this landmark symbolized the establishment of Soviet authority in Ukraine until its removal during protests in September 2014.
The monument represented different perspectives on national identity, leading to discussions about preserving or removing Soviet-era structures in Ukraine.
The former location of this monument now contains the largest fountain in Ukraine, offering a central meeting point in Constitution Square.
Local residents participated directly in the monument's removal, marking a change from institutional to community-driven transformation of public spaces.
