A large, rectangular, temporary informational panel or protective barrier, colored in a muted greyish-brown, stands prominently on the Dnipro River embankment in Navodnytsky Park, Kyiv, Ukraine. The panel displays white text, including "Незабаром побачимось!" (See you soon!) and "Твої Кий, Щек, Хорив і Либідь" (Your Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv and Lybid), with the large numerals "1982" indicating the monument's establishment year. Explanatory text in both English and Ukrainian identifies it as "THE MONUMENT IN HONOR OF KYIV FOUNDATION (BOAT)", detailing its authors (Sculptor V. Borodai, Architect M. Feshchenko) and dimensions (Total height 4.3m, Boat length 9m). A white outline drawing on the right side of the panel illustrates the monument's form: a boat carrying three standing figures and one kneeling figure holding a bow, representing the legendary founders of Kyiv. Below this illustration, QR codes and emblems are visible. Above the panel, the top edge reveals irregular concrete fragments, a curved dark metal bar, and two distinct dark spires, each topped with a spear-like point. Overhead, multiple horizontal wires strung with small, evenly spaced lights stretch across the frame against a partially cloudy sky. The immediate foreground consists of a paved surface made of rectangular grey bricks, bordered by a concrete curb. Adjacent to the curb is a strip of dark soil with scattered yellow and brown autumn leaves. To the left, a green electric scooter is partially visible, leaning against an unseen support near the paved area. In the middle distance, to the left, a railing separates the foreground from a wide body of water, likely the Dnipro River. Beyond the river, a distant shoreline is visible with numerous deciduous trees, mostly bare, and a tall, multi-story white building rising in the far left background. The scene is illuminated by diffused, consistent natural light, typical of an overcast day.
