ABOUT THE LOCATION
The rotunda was erected in honor of the 300th anniversary of Battle of Poltava in 2009. The triangular rotunda, designed in the classic style, was crowned with a cupola and a cross. The cross is deliberately deprived of the traditional orthodox cross elements: an upper crossbeam and a footrest – and is treated as a generally used Christian symbol. A bell is suspended under the dome of the rotunda. The Platform under the rotunda is slightly convex; in its center a plastic image of three doves as a symbol of the fallen souls (sculptor S. Margaryan) is placed on a pedestal. On the internal sides of the pylons there are three mosaic pictures, depicting national flags of Ukraine, Sweden and Russia (artist L.Totskiy); beneath them there are three marble plaques, which contain inscriptions in three languages “Time heals wounds” (old Swedish proverb). The Project author is Candidate of Architecture V. Tregubov.
