Kostiantyn Mohylko square located next to Khmelnytske shose is bringing us to Kosmonavtiv Avenue, one of the most picturesque walkways of Vyshenka, a microdistrict with heartfelt name. Not only the residents of Vinnytsia but also the tourists from all over the world took to the square along with the fountain composition “Solar system” which is located down the same walkway. While relaxing here, one can taste delicious coffee or legendary Vinnytsia sweets, as there are modern coffee houses and restaurants nearby (including restaurants of Podillia cuisine).
The main element of architectural concept of the square is a monument with the plane – it is a monument of the air force rescuers of Vinnytsia in WWII, in particular – to Heorhii Berehovyi, pilot-cosmonaut. The white pedestal is made in a form of a wave and called “Trail”, because it symbolizes a contrail of a plane taking off. In front of it there is a pedestrian fountain – 16 streams of various heights (up to three meters) lifting up to the sky, and they make an incredible impression on local people and tourists in the evening owing to their colorful illumination.
Wooden pergolas of astonishing forms are a part of the architectural composition; they, along with the benches, are framing the fountain zone and they are meant not only to accomplish a decorative function but also to create a shade during hot summer weather.
The plane-monument MiG-15 which had been standing on the pedestal since 1969, was sent to major restoration lasting nearly one year. The new pedestal has been constructed specially for the plane. At the beginning there was an architectural design competition and as a result the design proposal by architect Denys Kaminsky under the name “Trail” has been selected out of all other worthy alternatives and the name has been successfully applied later on.
The very square did not have its name before, but nowadays it is named after Kostiantyn Viktorovych Mohylko, the Hero of Ukraine, citizen of Vinnytsia, Ukrainian military man, class 1 pilot, the Colonel of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who tragically died in 2014, when he saved residents of Sloviansk by warding off the air crash at the expense of his life.
