Statue of Sholom Aleichem in Kyiv, Bronze monument near Brodsky Synagogue in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The bronze statue stands 3.3 meters tall, depicting Sholom Aleichem with his arms folded while looking towards the street ahead.
The monument was established in 1997 to honor the Yiddish author who left Ukraine in 1905 following the events in Kyiv.
The statue represents the influence of Jewish literature on Ukrainian society through Sholom Aleichem's stories about Eastern European Jewish life.
The monument is located at coordinates 50.43968, 30.52004, within walking distance from several public transportation stops in central Kyiv.
