The monument is located in the Park of Eternal Glory.

“The Kyiv City Council voted to demolish the monument to Kovpak in the Park of Glory… I don’t know what the park will be called now — maybe Inglorious?” wrote Maxim Buzhansky, a deputy from the Servant of the People party.

During the Great Patriotic War, Kovpak led the formation of a partisan detachment in Putivl, which he later headed. The detachment attacked German troops during raids through the occupied territories of Sumy, Kursk, Orel and Bryansk regions.
