People's Friendship Monument (Three Sisters)

Monument

The People's Friendship Monument, popularly known as the "Three Sisters", was erected in 1975 on a high mound at the triple border junction of the borders of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.

Three roads lead from the monument to the automobile checkpoints "Senkivka" (Ukraine), "Novi Yurkovichi" (Russia) and "Veselovka" (Belarus).

The monument was designed by Homel architect Leonid Stukachov with the participation of Chernihiv architect Mezhenny. It consists of three pylons, girded with a wide bronze ring. The bas-reliefs depict episodes from the history of the three peoples.

Every year on the last Saturday of June, the International Festival "Slavic Unity" was held near the monument. After the beginning of the Russian occupation of Crimea and part of Donbas in 2014, the holiday was no longer held.

In 2022, during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops destroyed the Senkivka checkpoint and turned the Three Sisters monument into a firing position. On May 30 of the same year, the Russians blew up a section of the road near the Three Sisters monument on the Ukrainian side. In June 2022, the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration decided to remove the Three Sisters monument from the list of historical monuments of local importance.
