Monument to the Battle of Zhovti Vody

Monument

The monument at the end of the Battle of Zhovti Vody was erected in the village of Zhovtooleksandrivka for the 350th anniversary of the beginning of the Liberation War.

At this place, next to the tract of Knyazhi Bayraky, in 1648 the Cossack troops of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, with the support of the Crimean Tatars Tuhay Bey, finally defeated the retreating Polish army, which became the first major victory of the Ukrainian people's War of Liberation.

Authors of the monument: architect Viktor Shulha, sculptor Stepan Zhylyak. On one of the two granite blocks, the coat of arms of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi is engraved, on the other - the coat of arms of the Crimean Tatar family Hirey. A stylized Ukrainian towel turns into a battle flag - a symbol of military prowess and the union of the Zaporizhzhian Cossacks and the Crimean Tatar army, which won a legendary victory on Zhovti Vody.
