Пам'ятник Олені Телізі, Memorial statue in Kyiv Polytechnic Institute campus, Ukraine
The monument shows the poet Olena Teliha in a composed pose with her hands folded across her chest, standing on a pedestal with an inscribed base. The bronze figure is located on the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute campus in a maintained public square near one of the buildings.
Sculptor Volodymyr Shchur created the memorial in 2008 to honor the poet Olena Teliha. She had worked at the institute before her death in 1942 and left behind a significant literary legacy.
The inscription on the pedestal displays lines from the poet's own work about personal growth and overcoming life's obstacles. These words reflect her importance to the university community and resonate with students who pass by.
The monument is accessible through Polytechnichna Street, which leads into the university campus where the statue stands in a public area. You can visit it during regular campus hours when the grounds are open to visitors.
The memorial was funded by KPI teachers and a 1992 graduate named D. Andrievsky, making it a community-supported project. This unusual funding source made it a personal tribute from those who knew the poet best through her work at the institute.
