The church is 46 meters high, 30 meters long and 23 meters wide. It is cross-shaped, with one main dome and four small towers topped with smaller domes. The entrance to the church leads through a fourteen-meter staircase. On all sides, the building is decorated with rows of Corinthian pilasters and gilded reliefs with floral motifs. The windows of the church are round or semicircular (at the level of the main dome). The church iconostasis was made in 1754–1761 by Antropov and Wyszniakow. The temple was built on the initiative of Empress Elizabeth in 1744–1753 according to the design of Bartolomeo Rastrelli on the site of the former Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. According to legend, this hill was passed by St. Andrew and pointed them out as a place where, thanks to God, a city and a wonderful temple will be created. The construction works were managed by Iwan Miczurin, the rococo interior decorations were made by O. Antropow, H. Lewicki, I. Wyszniakow and P. Borispolec according to Rastrelli's ideas. A total of twenty-three and a half thousand bricks were used to build the facility. The tsarina laid the cornerstone herself. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerkiew_%C5%9Bw._Andrzeja_w_Kijowie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3nf23aJ6-s

Mother Motherland (Ukrainian: Батьківщина-Мати, Russian: Родина-мать) - a monumental monument standing in Kiev, in the Pechersk district. It is part of the Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II. The statue is made of stainless steel, its height is 62 m, while the whole including the pedestal is 102 m high. The weight of the sculpture is 560 tons. The sword held in the right hand of the sculpture is 16 meters long and weighs 9 tons, while the left hand holds a shield measuring 13x8 meters with the emblem of the USSR. Inside the pedestal there is a memorial hall, lined with marble slabs with the names of more than 11,000 soldiers and 200 workers who received the titles of Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of Socialist Labor. In the hills around the museum, flowers and wreaths are traditionally laid. In the 1950s, in the area now occupied by the monument, it was planned to build monuments to Włodzimierz Lenin and Józef Stalin, each 200 m high. Ultimately, however, these plans were not implemented [2]. A local legend has it that in the 1970s, the sculpture designer Yevgeny Vuczetich was on a cruise with a group of Kiev communist dignitaries who decided that the high slopes of the Transnistrian region were a perfect place to build a war memorial. In addition, the tall building was to overshadow the nearby Pechersk Lavra. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matka_Ojczyzna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8rgMXByR9k
