The first monument was built in the late 1930s. On the square of the 3rd International at the entrance to the park on the place where the monument to Emperor Alexander II stood, and subsequently the monument to the “Red Army soldier - protector of the masses”, a concrete 5-meter sculpture of I. Stalin was installed. Destroyed in 1941 during the Nazi occupation of Kiev.
In early 1950, a temporary monument was erected on the same square that was given the name of Stalin Square (now European Square ) [1] [2] , which in the future should have been made more monumental.
In 1956, after the XX Congress of the CPSU , this monument was dismantled.
Sculptural monuments to Stalin and Lenin, and to Stalin and Gorky also existed nearby in the Pioneer Park in the 1950s.
All monuments to Stalin during the de-Stalinization were dismantled in 1956-1961.
