One of the most impressive single sites in Kiev is the Rodina Mat, also meaning the Mother Motherland statue. It stands at about 302 feet tall and absolutely conquers the skyline of Kiev and you can see it from miles away. This particular statue is actually located in the same park that the Great Patriotic War is located, and sits at the top of the museum. For the most part, it isn’t possible to really go into the actual statue, which is made of titanium, but it does give you an amazing view of the actual park.
The actual statue once stood even higher, as the now-dagger was once a great sword that actually made it the tallest part of the Kiev skyline. Due to the fact that it wound up outshining the bell tower of the Percherska Lavra monastary. This is an actual statue meant to be a “gift” for the “Russian People,” and out of several, this statue is the tallest. In a location that just stuns and amazes, and with simply a good look at the size and magnitude of the statue, this site is surely one of the greatest.
