Bohdan Khmelnytsky monument, Concrete monument in Melitopol, Ukraine

The monument features a 3.15-meter sculpture mounted on a 9.65-meter cylindrical pedestal, creating a vertical composition along Bohdan Khmelnytsky Avenue.

The monument was established in 1954 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Pereyaslav Treaty between the Cossack Hetmanate and Russian Empire.

This monument represents Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, who led the Zaporozhian Cossacks and established a degree of autonomy for Ukraine in the 17th century.

The monument stands at the intersection of Bohdan Khmelnytsky Avenue and Krupskaya Street, accessible by both public transport and private vehicles.

In 1970, municipal authorities relocated the monument from its initial position due to traffic safety concerns near a steep street section.
