Stone statue of over life size Bohdan Khmelnytsky in uniform of hetman, is placed on concrete pedestal with small plaque (there's only inscription with Ukrainian version of Khmelnytksy's name).

Bohdan Zynoviy Mykhailovych Khmelnytsky or Bogdan Khmelnitsky...
...was a hetman of the Zaporozhian Cossack Hetmanate of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now part of Ukraine). He led an uprising against the Commonwealth and its magnates (1648–1654) which resulted in the creation of a Cossack state. In 1654, he concluded the Treaty of Pereyaslav with the Tsardom of Russia, which led to the eventual loss of independence to the Russian Empire.
