Ukraine emblem raised to replace Soviet symbol on Kyiv’s Motherland Monument
A trident has been raised on Kyiv’s Motherland Monument to replace a Soviet crest.
Footage posted to Telegram on Saturday, 5 August, shows workers hoisting the tryzub, a three-pronged emblem of Ukraine, which is hoped to be installed in time for the country’s Independence Day on 24 August.
The 62-metre tall statue was created by Soviet sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich in 1981.
It stands at a compound of the World War II museum in Ukraine’s capital city, holding a 16-meter long sword in the right hand and an eight-meter-long shield in the left
The tryzub will replace a hammer and sickle.
