Address
23 Andriivs'kyi descent

The statue of Svirid Petrovich Golokhvastov and Pronya Prokopivna Sirko is based on two characters of Soviet times Ukraine comedy movie "For two hares." The movie took place in Andriivskiy descent and the main scene is in St. Andrew's Church. The statue shows the moment when Svirid Golohvastov is on one knee, offering a hand and his heart to Pronya Prokopivna. She stretches out her hand for him to kiss. The film is one of the classic Ukrainian comedies, it never gets dull. Even though the monument is quite new, it already has myths related to it. There are two main features: first, there is a ring on the finger of Pronya Prokopivna statue. Legend says that if one rubs it, she will be married soon. The second is related to the bug on the back of Svirid Petrovich - if you rub it, you will get good luck and good fortune.
