Independence Monument Kiev

Independence Monument Kiev

Came across this cool photo and wondered what it was called and where it was. Somewhere in Kiev, but nobody is saying what it is. It took a little digging to discover just what it was called. According to Wikipedia it was erected in 2001, the tenth anniversary of Ukraine's independence. Here's another pic from a different angle.

Google Maps does not have a 3d image of Kiev, but you can see the monument pretty well using Street View on Google Maps, which is where the last image comes from.
