Brigadier Horych Monument
The monument to Brigadier Ivan Horych is the most unusual in Ochakiv. An eagle with spread wings sits on top of a pyramid of 30 cannonballs.
During the assault on Ochakiv by Russian troops and Black Sea Cossacks, Horych commanded the 6th column, which was tasked with directly attacking the fortress. At the head of the column, the brigadier was one of the first to climb the fortress wall and heroically died in battle.
The monument to Horych was installed in the square at the intersection of Schmidt and Lotsmanska Streets. Authors: sculptor Yuriy Makushyn and architect Oleksiy Rudenko.
