Monument to Shevchenko, Ushhorod

Shevchenko monument in Uzhgorod - one of the most outstanding monuments of the city, near the regional administration. Fighter against the autocratic system of the Russian Empire, Ukrainian poet Kobzar thoughtfully stood on a pedestal. The cast bronze figure at full length is impressive.

For a long time the fate of the monument of the famous poet and artist. On the way there were difficulties of financing the project for a long time did not allow the natural conditions, even the planned transfer of the monument. But then came the long-awaited moment: the day of the 185th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko`s birthday, in March 1999, sculptor M. Mikhailyuk was erected a monument to Shevchenko.

Find greatest creation is quite difficult. It is centrally located in the People`s Square, a little to the right of the regional administration building. As planned by the sculptor, the monument gives the impression of walking Shevchenko. In a long raincoat with the collar turned up Kobzar can be somewhat confusing. His scowl makes us think about all of their misconduct.
