Monument to Rosych (Cities-Outposts of Kyivan Rus)
A huge monument to Rosych, a legendary inhabitant of the historic Korsun, was erected in Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi in 1982 on Zeleny Island, which is located half a kilometer upstream from the HPP dam.
Officially, the monument is called "Cities-Outposts of Kyivan Rus", but primarily it symbolizes the version of the origin of the name of the ancient Slavic state of Rus and the Rusychi people (Rosychy) from the toponym Ros.
Authors of the monument: sculptor Edvard Kuntsevych and architect Borys Mykytenko.
