Beatles monument, Bronze monument in Donetsk, Ukraine.
The Beatles monument features four bronze figures representing each band member positioned at the entrance of Liverpool cafe. The statues stand approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) tall and serve as the focal point of this music-themed location.
The monument was unveiled in August 2006 as the first Beatles memorial across the Commonwealth of Independent States region. This dedication reflected the band's enduring appeal and influence throughout Eastern Europe.
The monument sits within a British quarter featuring red telephone booths and English-style cafes that celebrate the band's legacy. Visitors encounter a setting that recreates the feeling of Liverpool, where local businesses embrace this cultural focus.
The monument includes an audio system built into its base that plays Beatles songs throughout the day. Evening lighting enhances the experience, making a visit after dark particularly rewarding for photography and atmosphere.
The sculptor Vladimir Antipov created the figures using plastic materials coated with bronze rather than solid bronze, allowing for lighter construction. He studied extensive performance footage of the band to capture their poses and expressions with precision.
