Monument to Ivan Kharitonenko, Bronze monument at Pokrovskaya Square, Sumy, Ukraine

The monument features Ivan Kharitonenko standing on a pedestal made of Finnish marble, commemorating his role in developing the local sugar industry.

Originally constructed in 1899 and destroyed in 1918, the monument underwent reconstruction in 1996 by sculptor Anatoly Avramovich Ivchenko at its initial location.

The monument represents the contributions of Ivan Kharitonenko to Sumy's development through his establishment of educational institutions and hospitals in the 19th century.

The monument's reconstruction in 1996 replaced a Lenin statue, marking the return to recognizing local historical figures after Ukraine's independence.
