'Mother Ukraine' Statue: Kyiv gets rid of Russian symbols from it in de-Russification campaign
This was the most important and most visible signs of Russian influence in Ukraine.
But now, the references to Russian influence are gone after Ukraine purged one of its tallest statues of the Russian influence.
The towering Mother Ukraine statue in Kyiv ā one of the nationās most recognizable landmarks ā lost its hammer-and-sickle symbol yesterday as officials replaced the Soviet-era emblem with Ukraineās trident coat of arms. the figure held a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left.
Originally, the shield bore the Soviet Unionās coat of arms ā a crossed hammer and sickle surrounded by ears of wheat.
But now, the Soviet Unionās coat of arms has been replaced with Ukrainianās.
Erected in 1981 as part of a larger complex housing the national World War II museum, the 61-meter Mother Ukraine monument stands on the right bank of the Dnieper River in Kyiv, facing eastward toward Moscow.
Created in the image of a fearless female warrior, the statue holds a sword and a shield.
But now, instead of the hammer-and-sickle emblem, the shield features the Ukrainian tryzub, the trident that was adopted as the coat of arms of independent Ukraine on Feb.
19, 1992.
Workers had begun removing the old emblem in late July, but poor weather and ongoing air raids delayed the work.
The completed sculpture will be officially unveiled on Aug.
24 ā Ukraineās Independence Day.
The revamp also coincides with a new name for the statue, which was previously known as the āMotherland monumentā when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.

The Su-57 'Felon' is arguably the only fighter jet developed by the Russian Federation. For the 34 years of its existence (since the collapse of the USSR), the Russian Federation has struggled to create all-new fighter jets. For decades, Russia has been able to upgrade and rebrand old Soviet platforms continuouslyālargely slapping upgrades and bigger designation numbers on its inherited Soviet models. But how much longer can this continue? Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-functional fighter jet designed to destroy all kinds of air, surface, and surface targets.
