A memorial sign dedicated to the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 is situated on Mykhailivska Square, adjacent to the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery. This monument is one of the first in Kyiv to commemorate the tragic events in the history of the Ukrainian people.

Unveiled on September 12, 1993, the 60th anniversary of the tragedy, the memorial was established to honor the memory of those who perished during the Great Famine. During this devastating period, authorities forcibly seized all harvested crops from villagers, even the minimal supplies needed for family survival, resulting in the tragic deaths of millions from starvation.

The gray granite stele rises from a low granite pedestal and symbolizes a cross, featuring a mother figure—a representation of Ukraine—her hands raised in despair, holding a child against her chest with arms outstretched. This kid is a heart of the composition, symbolizing the millions of unborn Ukrainian children who fell victim to the ideologies of hatred, violence, repression, and mass murder.

Ground from all regions of Ukraine has been placed at the foot of the monument. Every year, on the fourth Saturday of November, during the commemorative events for the Memorial Day of the Victims of the Holodomor, Kyivans gather at the monument, bringing candles and flowers adorned with ears of wheat to honor the memory of their fallen compatriots.
