About this audio guide
This guide to Mykhailivs'ka Square in Kyiv is about the people who made the Princess Olga monument that stands on it: a twenty-four-year-old sculptor fresh from Saint Petersburg and Paris, his collaborators, and the craftsmen who took up the same design generations later. It touches the saints and scholars grouped around Olga and the stormy years around nineteen nineteen. Listen standing beside the pedestals, where you can walk around the figures.
