Monument to Svyatoslav Ihorovych

Monument

The monument at the place of death of Prince Svyatoslav Ihorovych in Mykilske-Na-Dnipri is one of the oldest monuments dedicated to Ancient Rus.

According to legend, one of the most militant and active Kyiv princes Svyatoslav Ihorovych, the son of Princess Olha, died in a battle with the Pechenegs near the famous Dnipro rapid "Nenasytets", returning after an unsuccessful campaign to Constantinople. During his reign (964-972), he managed to defeat the Khazar Khaganate, conquer the Vyatichi, and carry out military campaigns to Bulgaria and the North Caucasus.

A cast-iron slab on a granite boulder on the bank of the Dnipro was installed in 1872 at the probable place of the prince's death. The inscription on it says: "In 972, near the Dnipro rapids, a Rus knight, Prince Svyatoslav Ihorovych, died in an unequal battle with the Pechenegs."

The monument is located on the territory of the Children's Health Camp. Visitors are accompanied by security.
