According to the Ukrainian Fakty daily newspaper, the monument was made at Kyiv's Khudozhnyk ("Artist") factory on April 26, 2011. It was installed near the Vernadsky library in Kyiv's Holosiyivksy district. The inscription on the monument says: "To Chornobyl cleanup workers who, at the cost of their lives and health, protected mankind from the terrible disaster. We remember your feat."
