A small bronze sculpture dedicated to Vasyl Grigorovych Barsky, an 18th-century Ukrainian traveler and writer, was unveiled in Larnaca. The statue honors Barsky's remarkable contributions to the documentation of Cyprus during his five visits to the island. His detailed accounts provide valuable insights into the daily life, landscapes, and inhabitants of Cyprus during that period.
The unveiling event took place in a ceremony organized by the Ukrainian community in collaboration with Obiimy Cyprus. This marks the first miniature sculpture of its kind dedicated to Barsky outside Ukraine. His explorations in the mid-1700s left behind one of the most significant historical testimonies documenting the island, making the statue a poignant tribute to both his legacy and the shared cultural ties between Ukraine and Cyprus.
