Without a doubt, the Motherland monument or Batkivshchyna Maty is one of the most important monuments in Ukraine. The grand statue is a part of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the World War II, located on the hills of Pechersk. The statue measures 102 meters and is one of the highest constructions in the world. To give an idea, it is higher than the Statue of Liberty (93 meters) and Christ the Redeemer in Rio (38 meters).
The monument is unique not only in its size but also materials and construction — the figure of the woman with the shield and sword is made from stainless steel sheets welded together. The initial project featured covering the monument with gold leaf but the idea wasn’t further approved. The Motherland monument was engineered by leading architects and welders of the USSR; and it can stand through a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.
Naturally, such large construction can’t exist without urban legends surrounding it. According to one of them, church officials have negotiated with the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine to make sure that the statue’s sword doesn’t soar higher than the high bell tower of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. That’s why the tip of the sword was made 12 meters shorter than the initial plan. However, it’s merely an urban legend — in fact, the sword was shortened to reach the architectural balance of the area.
The spot has two observation decks: at the bottom level of the statue, equipped with binoculars, and in the shield. Here any spot of Kyiv becomes merely a small dot on the map. Moreover, there’s an opportunity to reach the top of the 102-meter monument on the special elevators.
