A mini sculpture dedicated to energy workers has been unveiled on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street in Kyiv. This sculpture, titled "People-Pillars," marks the 50th anniversary of the cultural-historical project "Look for!"

In 1890, Kyiv saw the launch of its first power station, which illuminated the City Theatre (now the National Opera), several buildings, and street lamps. Khreshchatyk became the first illuminated street in the city, and large lamps appeared on Volodymyrska Hill, a favorite walking spot for locals.

This event initiated a new chapter in the city's history, and the bronze sculpture pays tribute to the energy workers who light up the city. Though the old station and theatre are no longer standing, the memory of this transformation lives on. The new sculpture has been placed in that very district.

The sculpture features power lines designed in the form of energy workers, with chestnuts—symbols of Kyiv—on their chests. There is a button on the side, and pressing it makes the sculpture glow.

“This sculpture is a gesture of gratitude to energy workers. During the full-scale war, we realized how vital their work is,” shared Yuliya Bevzenko.
