Three names following the history, during forty years (1982-2022).
An old soviet monument become a genuine Ukrainian symbol for many purposes. The “Arch of Freedom of the Ukrainian people” (new name from May 14, 2022) is a monument builded on 1982, to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the USSR and (at the same time) the celebration of the 1.500th Anniversary of Kyiv (past name till Independence of Ukraine in 1991 was “Monument to commemorate the reunification of Ukraine with Russia”; after 1991 was "Peoples' Friendship Arch”). The sculpture under the Arch (Ukrainian and Russian workers standing together), was dismantled in April 2022 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
