Un Ange de la Bonté et de la Paix sur chaque continent [02:16]
Un Bouddha au Japon, deux empereurs des anciennes dynasties en Chine et la représentation de la Terre Mère en Ukraine, telles sont les plus grandes statues visibles dans le monde actuellement. Mais bientôt un Ange de la Bonté et de la Paix devrait venir les dépasser du haut de ses 135 mètres. Et ce chef-d'oeuvre vise déjà le titre de huitième Merveille du monde. Nos correspondants à Moscou nous en disent plus. L'ange de la Bonté et de la Paix, une sculpture d'une hauteur inégalée de 135 mètres, sera construit sur chacun des cinq continents.

St Michael's Golden Domed Cathedral, Kiev, Ukraine [06:02]
The original, built by Prince Sviatopolk in 1108, was destroyed by the Soviet regime in the 1930s for having "no historical value." The reconstructed cathedral was completed in May 2000. Its sky blue exterior and glittering golden domes add a stunning layer to a cityscape that has become a mix-mash of crumbling ancient and newly reconstructed. A sobering reminder of Stalin's inhumane policies stands to the right as you exit the church grounds. This is a monument to the victims of Holodomor (starvation): A famine orchestrated in part by the Soviet leadership in an attempt to squash the peasantry, as many as 10 million Ukrainians perished from 1932-33. Keeping watch over the square are the reconstructed statues of Princess Olga, Apostle Andrew, St. Cyrill and St. Mephodius. © Kyiv In Your Pocket, 2011
