The Mound of Immortality is located on the main alley of the Victory Park of Culture and Leisure. This mound was opened in June 1967 with the aim of perpetuating the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for freedom during World War II. The mound is very symbolic - it was poured from the earth that was brought from partisan and soldier's graves located in different parts of the former USSR, as well as foreign countries. The mound is based on a five-pointed star, a well-known Soviet symbol. The architects of the memorial were O. Stukalov and A. Snitsarev. In 2004, to the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Ukraine from the invaders, the mound was reconstructed.
