A monument to the British rock group "The Beatles" in Donetsk has been installed at the entrance to the "Liverpool" entertainment complex, which is decorated in the "Beatles" style.

Figures of musicians are made of plastic and painted in bronze by Kharkiv sculptor Volodymyr Antipov.

The sculpture depicts the legendary foursome of Liverpool during the concert - in characteristic poses and with musical instruments in their hands. The band's clothing and hairstyles correspond to 1963-1964, except for John Lennon, who is shown wearing round glasses, which he began to wear later.

The wall with figures of the "Beatles" is covered with a mosaic in the form of the British flag.

The park of forged figures and carved sculptures is located in Donetsk in the square behind the City Council building.

The works of the best blacksmiths of Donbas are collected here.

An international festival of blacksmithing is held annually. The best works remain in the park as a gift to the city.

Nearby is the Glade of Fairy Tales with wooden sculptures of fairy-tale heroes.

A monument to the insurance agent was erected in the center of Donetsk for the 10th anniversary of the ASKA insurance company.

The bronze sculpture of the "Derzhstrakh" agent, who is preparing to enter the office to the insured, depicts the popular movie hero Yuriy Detochkin from the movie "Beware of the car", embodied on the screen by the talented actor Inokentiy Smoktunovsky. According to the initiators of the installation of the monument, this film very well shows the specifics of the work of an insurance agent - daily, exhausting, but interesting and necessary for people.

The author of the monument is the sculptor Ihor Makohon.

A monument to the English industrialist John James Hughes, the founder of Yuzivka (now Donetsk), the creator of the Donetsk metallurgical industry, on which the economic power of Donbas is now based.

The monument was opened in 2001 in the heart of the student campus of the Donetsk National Technical University - a local technical educational institution, opposite the new building.

The author of the monument is the sculptor Oleksandr Skorykh. The sculptor decided to place the human-sized figure of John Hughes on a low pedestal, thereby emphasizing the human features of the founding father of the Donetsk industry. The monument was cast in the central repair and mechanical workshops.

A monument to the KSP-32 tunneling combine was installed next to the Technical University of Donetsk.

Tunneling combines are complex mining machines designed for underground work in mining operations: rock destruction, loading on conveyors or trolleys, etc.

KSP-32 combines are manufactured at the Yasynuvata Machine-Building Plant. The inscription on the monument reads: "To the residents of the city of Donetsk from Yasynuvata machine builders."
