About this audio guide
This guide to Volodymyrska Hill in Kyiv looks hard at the monument on its lower terrace as a made thing: brick, iron and bronze, and the eighteen-fifties workshops and merchants who produced them. It follows two sculptors, a long overland haul in the years before any railway reached the city, and the bill that came with it. Stand at the foot of the pedestal, close enough to touch it, when you press play.
