Prince Ihor Monument

Monument

The monument to Prince Ihor in the Stanytsia Luhanska town (north-eastern suburb of Luhansk) was opened for the 65th anniversary of the formation of the Luhansk region.

According to some historians, the legendary northern prince Igor started his campaign against the Polovtsy from the Luhansk steppe, described in the "Words about Ihor's Campaign".

The 14-meter-tall statue of the prince, made of bronze-toned concrete, is installed on a high hill above the Luhansk-Shyrokyi highway. The authors of the monument are the sculptor Mykola Mozhayev, the architect Mykola Pozdnyakov, the artist Viktor Horbulin.

The monument to Prince Ihor was reconstructed in 2008. It is planned to create a historical and cultural complex around it.
