Yaroslav the Wise, Bronze memorial statue in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine.
The statue depicts Yaroslav the Wise standing in royal vestments while holding a scroll that signifies his legal achievements. It stands in central Bila Tserkva and was erected in 1983 to commemorate this 11th century ruler of Kyivan Rus.
This prince ruled from 1019 to 1054 and transformed the early Eastern European world through groundbreaking legal reforms. The monument itself was created in 1983 to commemorate this transformative era in Kyivan Rus history.
Local residents regard this prince as a founding figure whose legal reforms shaped the region's civic identity. The statue serves as a gathering point for remembering his role in establishing how communities should govern themselves.
The memorial is located in the town center and easily accessible for visitors. Plan time to examine the inscriptions on the base closely and explore the surrounding area at a leisurely pace.
The base of the monument incorporates designs from medieval manuscripts, displaying details of ancient Kyivan Rus writing. This linking of statue and historical script creates something beyond a simple honor to a historical figure.
