Park Slavi, or the Park of Glory, is located on the intersection of Sichnevogo Povstaniya Street, Suvorova Street and Dmitrievsky Slope. The park is dedicated to the memory of those heroes who died defending Kiev and Ukrainian lands.

In 1957 the obelisk of glory was put up in the park to commemorate the feat of arms of Kiev defenders. The 27 meters high granite obelisk was constructed by sculptors Miletskii, Baklanov and Novikov on the Grave of the Unknown Solder to mark the communal burial place of the war victims. The eternal flame on the grave symbolizes that the Slavic people will never forget heroism of the fallen solders. A wide alley leads to the obelisk and creates a solemn impression, which combines grief for the war victims and pride for the people's heroism. On the sides of the alley there are 34 graves of those who died for their motherland. Among them is the commander of Kiev defense, colonel-general Mikhail Kirponos, national Yugoslavia hero, aviation major-general Andrey Vitruk, first-sergeant Nikiphor Sholudenko and others. Sholudenko was the first one to drive his tank to Kiev center to liberate the city in November, 1943. The heroes' burial places, the communal Grave of Unknown Solder and the obelisk are the places where thousands of people annually come and bring flowers on the Victory Day, the ninth of May.

Behind the obelisk of glory there is a sight area offering a splendid view on the left bank of the Dnepr River, Kievo-Pecherskaya lavra ensemble and old Kiev temples. In the park there are numerous picturesque alleys and paths for nice walking. The historians believe that the place where nowadays the green park Slavi is situated used to be the village Berestovo, where Kiev prince Vladimir, the one who baptized Rus, had a summer residence with 200 concubines.

Park Slavi is a nice place for a family rest: it offers quietness and calmness, pleasant corners, curved paths and historical monuments.

The Park of Eternal Glory, located in the Pechersk district of Kiev, more than 50 years ago was called the Anosov Garden. Now on its territory there is a memorial complex “Park of Eternal Glory to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War”, in the center of which there is an obelisk of Glory with the height of 26 meters, at the foot of which there lies the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Near the obelisk there is the eternal flame, surrounded with a bronze wreath. It calls to resemble the great feat of the Soviet defenders during the Great Patriotic War.

The foundation of the park is attributed to the general Anosov, who decided to create the park on the deserted wasteland and make it a place of rest for the youth. In 1894 there appeared the first alleys, beds, bridges, pavilions, fountain. For kids there were made sandboxes and carousels, for the young people - sports town. Every evening in the summerhouse of the park played orchestra that attracted the attention of the townspeople and made the park one of the favorite places for recreation.

With the beginning of the Civil War the atmosphere of the park has changed dramatically: it is believed that on outskirts of the park Bolsheviks shot the Metropolitan Vladimir and Ukrainian poets Chumak and Michailychenko.

During the Great Patriotic War, the park was badly damaged: on its foot there were dropped dozens of headstones and monuments, it has become a place of mourning for the dead. Therefore, in 1957 it was decided to divide the Park: on the former Anosov Garden there is a Park of Eternal Glory to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, which is today a historic landmark in Kiev.
