A MONUMENT TO BULGAKOV IN KYIV
April 8, 2008
DO YOU KNOW........
 The monument to the famous writer Mikhail Bulgakov was built near his house-museum at Andriyivsky
Uzviz, 13, that is in the center of Kyiv. The work was completed in the middle of October 2007. The author
of the monument is a famous sculptor Mykola Rapay, who initially had prepared two variants of the
monument. The one was chosen where the writer is depicted sitting on the bench with folded hands.
The cost of creating the monument is estimated in 300-400 thousand UAH.
The idea to put a monument to Bullgakov in Andriyivsky Uzviz, next to his house-museum belongs to the
museum stuff. It was born long ago, but there was no funds in the state budget for this project.
The design of the monument was first presented at the exhibition of the famous sculptor Mykola Rapay,
but after the exhibition was over the artwork returned to the artist's studio.....

instinctively predicting great discovery, he came to the village of Trypillya and started digging. Then a
real sensation happened....... |

INVALUABLE CREATIONS BY RERIKH PRESERVED IN KYIV REGION
September 9, 2007
by Inna Vakulenko
Ukrainian Journal No.3, 2007
Long before the great holiday of the Holy Protection of Ever-Virgin Mary (October 14) I was lucky to visit the church of
the same name that is located in the village of Parkhomivka, Kyiv region.
The fifty meters bell tower can be seen from far away and coming closer to the temple one can figure out some details,
not common for Ukrainian temples. Extraordinary is the fact that the temple is turned with its right side to central gates.
In such a way one can see two mosaics at a time. The mosaics are made according to the sketches by Mykola Rerikh... |
