General information about Monument to Swedes from Swedes (Takhtaulove)
The monument "To Swedes from Swedes" near Poltava was erected in 1909 near the Poltava battlefield.
The 6 m high monolithic granite monument was delivered from Sweden. According to the legend, the Russian authorities put forward a demand - there should be no bas-reliefs, sculptures or any other decorations on the monument. The Swedes fulfilled the condition, but every year on the day of the Battle of Poltava early in the morning, when the first rays of the rising sun fall on the granite, the silhouette of a grieving woman appears on it.
On two sides of the monument there are inscriptions in Swedish and Russian: "In memory of the Swedes who died here in 1709, it was built by compatriots in 1909."
Пам'ятник "Шведам від шведів" під Полтавою споруджений в 1909 році поряд із полем Полтавської битви.
Монолітний гранітний монумент заввишки 6 метрів доставили зі Швеції. За легендою, російська влада висунула вимогу - на пам'ятнику не повинно бути жодних барельєфів, скульптур та будь-яких інших прикрас. Шведи виконали умову, проте щороку в день Полтавської битви рано вранці, коли перші промені сонця, що сходить, падають на граніт, на ньому з'являється силует скорботної жінки.
На двох сторонах пам'ятника мають написи шведською та російською мовами: "На згадку шведам, що загинули тут у 1709 році, споруджено співвітчизниками у 1909 році".
