was opened on 7 November 1982, amidst the celebration of the 1,500th Anniversary of Kyiv, to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the USSR and the "reunification of Ukraine with Russia in 1654" (the Pereiaslav Agreement as it was known in the Soviet Union).
The sculpture under the arch, which depicted a Ukrainian worker and a Russian worker standing together, was dismantled in April 2022 amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 17 April 2024 the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy removed the official status of the monument and allowed its dismantling. On 25 April 2024 the Kyiv City State Administration announced that the monument would not be demolished but would "receive a new concept." This despite the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory had been advocating "complete dismantling." On 30 April 2024 the sculptural composition (weighing more than 6,000 tons) of 20 elements that honoured the Pereiaslav Agreement was dismantled.
