Historical note
Heroes Alley is a main promenade axis in Chernihiv where Soviet-era memorial compositions were placed. Antonov-Ovseenko (1883–1938) took part in the 1917 revolution and Civil War; the monument reflects the ideological memory of that period.
Present day
Heroes Alley remains a public space in the historic centre. The set of monuments has changed since 1991 as Soviet memorial heritage was reassessed.
