Памятник советским гражданам и военнопленным, расстрелянным в Бабьем Яру, Monument to Soviet citizens and prisoners of war in Babi Yar, Kyiv, Ukraine
The bronze monument displays 11 figures, including an underground communist, a soldier, a sailor, a couple, a mother with child, and an elderly woman.
The memorial, unveiled in 1976, commemorates Soviet citizens and military prisoners executed by Nazi forces at Babi Yar between 1941 and 1943.
The monument represents the first official Soviet acknowledgment of the mass killings at Babi Yar, though it did not specifically mention Jewish victims.
Two pathways lead to the monument: the Road of Sorrow and the Avenue of the Righteous, providing visitors different approaches to reach the memorial site.
The memorial stands as a central element among 30 different markers and monuments added to Babi Yar after Ukraine gained independence.
