Nikolai Vatutin monument, Soviet military monument in Mariinskyi Park, Kyiv, Ukraine
The granite monument rises 8.55 meters tall near the Ukrainian Parliament building, featuring a detailed sculpture of General Nikolai Vatutin.
Soviet sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich and architect Iakov Bielopolski designed this memorial, which was unveiled on January 25, 1948.
The monument served as both a burial site and a memorial, with an inscription dedicating it from the Ukrainian people to General Vatutin.
The monument remained accessible in central Kyiv until February 2023, when authorities removed it as part of the national derussification process.
The remains of General Vatutin were interred at the monument's base, leading to discussions about their relocation following political changes in Ukraine.
