During our short stay in Kiev, or Kyiv, Ukraine, one of my favorite locations was the site of the Motherland Monument, which is part of the World War 2 Museum, and overlooks the Dnieper River. The monument is stunning, and the view of Kiev and the river are lovely. Truly at the top of my personal list for must-sees in Kiev. We did not go into the museum, which is where you can go up into the statue, but I think that if I have the chance again, I would like to go into the museum as the Socialistic representation of the war, seen outside on the plaza via sculptures…
