The national artists of Ukraine, father and son Mykola and Bohdan Mazurs and architector V. Kozubenko created the monument-symbol that immortalized the memory of victims of violence, united  and reconciled people of different generations and nationalities, people of different political views. The monument, erected in the city center in 1998, is considered the only monument in the country dedicated to the victims of political repression. Granite and bronze depict a sad angel with half-empty wings looking at the ground.
