Kiev Ukraine Park of Eternal Glory overview
Kiev city Park of Eternal Glory was laid out in 1957 to the designs of Avraam Miletsky, Vladimir Baklanov and Lev Novikov; sculptor Ivan Pershudchev.
A broad gently sloping avenue leads down to a square where a twenty-one meter obelisk towers over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; at its base burns an eternal flame. The tomb stands at the very edge of the steep Dnepr banks, and from it opens up a view of the endless spaces on the opposite shore.
On either side of the Kiev Park of Eternal Glory avenue are tombstones carved with the names of those who gave their lives to liberate the Ukraine from the Nazi invaders.
