Pronya Prokopivna and Holokhvastov Monument

The memorial stands on Andriyivskyy Descent near Saint Andrew's Church and displays two bronze figures mounted on a stone pedestal. The work captures two characters in period dress at a moment of their encounter.

The memorial was established in 1999 and honors characters from a Soviet film based on a Ukrainian theatrical work. The film adaptation made these figures into recognizable characters in Soviet and later Ukrainian culture.

The figures represent characters central to Ukrainian folklore and show how ordinary people were portrayed in traditional stories. The site draws visitors interested in how everyday characters were depicted in cultural narratives.

The memorial is located on a popular walking route with good accessibility and several cafes nearby for refreshment. The best time to visit is during daytime when the street is active and the bronze details are easy to see.

Sculptor Viktor Shoval created the sculptures with careful attention to historical details in clothing and body postures. This precise craftsmanship makes the memorial a place where visitors pause to observe the fine features of the bronze figures.
