Statue of Ivan Mazepa, Poltava, Bronze memorial statue in Sobornaya Square, Ukraine
The Statue of Ivan Mazepa is a 3.2-meter bronze sculpture located on Sobornaya Square in Poltava. It depicts the historical figure in traditional Cossack dress facing the Assumption Cathedral and serves as a central focal point in the city's public space.
Mazepa served as hetman from 1687 to 1709 and sought independence from Tsar Peter I's rule. His struggle against Moscow became a defining moment in eastern European history.
The name Mazepa represents Cossack heritage and independence ideals in Ukrainian memory. The monument's placement in the main square makes it a gathering point where people reflect on his significance to the region.
The monument sits on Sobornaya Square in central Poltava, easily accessible on foot with nearby museums and cafes. This location makes it a natural starting point for exploring the historic downtown area.
The monument was erected in 2016 as the first full-length memorial to Mazepa in Ukraine after years of public debate. Its construction was funded through community donations, reflecting how this historical figure remains central to Ukrainian identity.
