A monument to the heroes of the film comedy "Behind Two Hares" Pronya Prokopivna and Svyryd Holokhvastov is erected in Kyiv at the beginning of the Andriyivsky Uzviz, where the final episode of the film was filmed - the exposure of Svyryd Petrovych before the wedding in the Saint Andrew Church.

The film was shot at the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Studio in 1961 based on the satirical play of the same name, which sharply satirizes the bourgeois lifestyle of Kiev. The funny movie comedy with Oleh Borisov and Marharyta Krynitsyna in the main roles won the love of the whole nation. The actors perfectly embodied the images of Kyiv burghers of the 19th century, and the colorful surzhik of the Russian version of the film organically complemented the already comical language of the heroes, full of "noble" words. "In my chest - Vesuvius is still clattering! Decide my unfortunate fate: I ask you for your hand and heart", - the barber of Holokhwast, who was standing on his knees, addresses Pronya Prokopivna, a graduate of the "boarding house", with such a loud "hvason".

This episode of the film is depicted by sculptors Volodymyr Shchur, Vitaliy Sivko, and Ruslan Kuharenko.
