Salute Hotel (pass by)

Hotel “Salute” was built in 1982-1984. to the order of the State Planning Commission according to the project of the architect A. Miletsky (11 Mazepa St.). Initially, the round building of the hotel was planned to be erected several floors higher, but the party leadership would reduce the number of stories so as not to distort the historical panorama of Kyiv. Ultimately, thanks to an unusual architectural solution, the futuristic building became one of the brightest examples of Soviet modernism.

The Motherland Monument

The Motherland was opened in 1981. Section production took place at a factory in Kyiv with the participation of the Institute of Paton. A 10-meter copy of the sculpture was tested for stability in the largest turbine of the USSR, located in Moscow. The cost of construction amounted to 2 million rubles.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (pass by)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an extravagant building erected in 1938 (Mykhailivska Square). In 1934, when the capital was moved from Kharkiv to Kyiv, it became necessary to create a government quarter. It was planned to build two monumental buildings, to divide the area for parades between them, to erect a 75-meter monument to Lenin, and instead of the funicular to build a staircase to the embankment. To implement the idea, the Mykhailivsky Cathedral (XVII-XVIII centuries) was demolished. We also managed to build one building before 1941, where the party committees and Komsomol institutions operated already in the 1940s. After the war, it again housed the Central Committee of the Communist Party. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been located here since the 1990s.

Verkhovna Rada (pass by)

Verkhovna Rada was built in 1939. The building is a model of Ukrainian architectural classics. Before the entrance to the building there are sculptures, symbolizing different layers of the population – workers, peasants, scientists, intellectuals. Nowadays here are conducted the sessions of the parliament.

Kyiv Crematorium

The crematorium was built in 1975 on the territory of the Baykove cemetery. The building located on the top of the hill consists of two rounded farewell halls on the podium, under which the crematorium itself is hidden. Nearby, there was supposed to be the Memory Park with a pond and a wall with a grandiose bas-relief depicting life and death. Ukrainian masters have been working on the Wall of Memory for more than 10 years. Unfortunately, in 1982, the unique panel was flooded with concrete.
