Monument to Alexander III in Kiev
The bust of Alexander III in Kiev was installed in 1909 with funds from the South-Western Railway Directorate opposite the building of the Orphanage in Memory of Emperor Alexander III in the Railway Colony (now there is a railway technical school in this building).
The bust of Alexander III was located on a low granite pedestal with the inscription “Tsar the Peacemaker Orphanage Shelter named after Emperor Alexander III of the Southwest Railway. 1909 ".
With the arrival of the Bolsheviks in the 1920s, the bust of the emperor along with the pedestal was demolished. In 1972, a monument to the hero of the Soviet Union, the partisan of the Great Patriotic War, Vladimir Kudryashov, was unveiled at this place.
