Prior 1918, attempts to commemorate Shevchenko were either amateurish
or privately sponsored. In 1881 a small bust of him was mounted
in Mangyshlak. It existed only until 1920. In 1899 a marble bust
by the Russian sculptor V. Beklemeshev, was placed in front of the
Women's Sunday School on Khrystya Alchevska's estate in Kharkiv.
She was school principal at the time. In 1903 another monument was
raised in Sedniv, Chernihiv province, on the estate of Lyzohub (sculptor
F. Balavensky). It was destroyed in 1943 during the Second World
War.
The people's reverance for Shevchenko is reflected in the numerous
monuments to him throughout the cities and villages of Ukraine.
Construction was by local craftsmen and the work was funded through
public donations. Among the many villages where the statues can
still be found are: Kolomyia, Kosiv, Vovchyntsi, Nadiiv in Ivano-Frankivsk
province; Lysynychi, Vynnyky, Pustomyty, Dobriany in Lviv province;
Loshniv and Dobromyry in Ternopil province; Zavadiv village, near
Drohobych.
Following the October Revolution 1917, responsibility for commemorating
Shevchenko came under government jurisdiction. In 1918, statues
to Shevchenko were erected in Moscow (sculptor S.Volnukhin) and
Petrograd, (sculptor Ya. Tilberg).
The same year, a temporary monument finance by popular donation
was erected in Romny, Sumy province (sculptor I. Kavaleridze). Temporary
statued were placed in Kyiv (1919 sculptor F. Balavensky), in Kharkiv
(1921 sculptor B. Kratko), in Odesa (1920), in several villages
in the Mirhorod region (sculptors unknown); and in Brovary and Kniazhychi,
Kyiv province as well as elsewhere. A three-metre granite statue
by the amature sculptor A. Panasenko was mounted in the village
of Lesky, Cherkassy province and in 1924, a two-metre bust by the
amateur sculptor Bulah-Hrypych was mounted in the town of Bohodukhiv,
in Kharkiv province. Among the monuments to Shevchenko created by
the sculptor K. Tereschenko were the original statue in Kaniv (cast,
iron, 1923) and the ons in Shpoli (cement and brick, 1926), in Horodysche
(cast iron and granite, 1926), in Kerelivka (1929) and in Moryntsi
(1939) , where Shevchenko's parental home was located. The latter
to two statues were replaced by those created by the sculptors M.
Vronsky and O. Oliynyk, and the architect Zvarov in 1956 and 1957.
In 1925 the Government proclaimed the Taras Shevchenko burrial
site and the surrounding lands a state preserve. In 1939 two outstanding
monuments to Shevchenko were erected
in Kaniv and in Kyiv respectively
(sculptor M. Manizer, architect: E. Levinson). The statue created
by the sculptor I. Melgunov and erected in Konotop in 1939 was replaced
in 1959 (sculptor Ya. Krasnozhon).
In the period following World War II, aproximatelly about 200 monuments
to Shevchenko were built in the towns and villages throughout Ukraine.
The most notable of these were erected in
Dnipropetrovsk (cement, granite, 1949; sculptor Ivan Znoba-
replaced in 1959 by a cast-iron statue by sculptors I. and V. Znoba
and architect L. Vytvytski; in Mukachevo (reinforced concrete, 1952;
sculptors: S. Rykhva and Y. Dzyndra); in
Donetsk (bronze, granite, 1954; sculptors M. Vronsky and O.
Oliynyk, architect V. Shaparenko); in Sumy (reinforced concrete,
1957; sculptor Y. Krasnozhon); in Yahotyn (1959; sculptor Mykola Malynka); in Lozivka, Ternopil province (limestone,
1961; sculptors: Ya. Chaika, and E. Mysko); and in Korsun-Shevchenkivsky
(acrylic resin, 1960; sculptors: M.Vronsky and O. Skoblykov). A
significant event in the cultural life of the USSR was the raising
in 1964 of the bronze-and-granite monument to Shevchenko in
Moscow (sculptors: M. Hrytsiuk, Yu. Synkevych, A. Fuzhenko,
architects: A. Snytzarev, Yu. Chekaniuk). Monuments to the bard
also stand in Fort Shevchenko on the Mangyshlak
peninsula ( cast plaster, 1927; amateur sculptor Atrau), in
Ashkhabad (bronze, granite, 1972, sculptor M.G. Lysenko; architects
A. Ihnaschenko and A. Akhmetov) and
in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The poet's great reknown has spread far beyond the borders ofhis
homeland. In 1951 a monument to Shevchenko, Ukraine's generous gift
to Ukrainians in Canada, was erected in
Oakville, near the city of Toronto (bronze, granite, sculptors:
M. Vronsky and O. Oliynyk; architect V. Hnezdilov). The statue was
stolen from the Oakville park in December 2006 and only the head
of the statue survived. It is located in the Shevchenko Museum in
Toronto. Another monument to Shevchenko in Canada was erected in
Winnipeg in 1961. Three years later, in 1964, a Shevchenko monument
was placed in Washington D.C.
In 1979 a bronze-and-granite bust of the poet was mounted in
Arrow-Park, near New York City (sculptor V.Borodai, architect
A. Ihnaschenko). Sculptor Arhipenko created a statue of Shevchenko
that is located in Soyuzivka Resort, Kerhonkson, New York State.
In 1971 the first monument to Shevchenko appeared in Buenos
Aires, the capital of Argentina (granite). The bust of Shevchenko,
erected in France in 1974, was a present from the city of Kyiv to
Chalette-sur-Loing (bronze, granite, sculptor O. Skoblykov; architect
O. Malynovsky). Another monument to Taras Shevchenko in France was
unveiled in Paris. There are two
monuments to Shevchenko in Brazil. One was unveiled in
Curitiba in 1967; another one, located
in Prudentopolis, was erected in 1989. There are Shevchenko
monuments in Italy, Poland
and Romania. The most recent monuments
to Shevchenko were erected in Tbilisi,
Georgia (March 2007) and in Budapest, Hungary (July 2007).
People of all races, nationalities, beliefs and political views
see the erection of monuments to Shevchenko as a demonstration of
deep respect and love for Ukraine's national genius, and as international
recognition of his contribution to world culture. According to the
former director of the Shevchenko National Museum in Kyiv, Serhiy
Halchenko, there are now over 600 Shevchenko Monuments in the world.

First Monument to Taras Shevchenko. Petrograd (St. Petersburg),
Russia
 |
|
The first monument in Russia for Taras Shevchenko was unveiled
in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg) on December 1, 1918. The creator
of the monument was Latvian sculptor Janis Tilberg. The inscription
says: "To the great Ukrainian poet-peasant T. G. Shevchenko
(1814 - 1861) from the great Russian nation." The
plaster monument existed for only eight years due to the deterioration
of the material in the open air. It was planned to be replaced
by a bronze version which never happened. For descendants
it has remained merely in an old photograph taken in Petrograd
in 1918.
