The Sophia's Square is one of the oldest in the capital, it is named after Saint Sophia Cathedral, which was built in the area for nearly thousand years ago. It is the embodiment of the history and culture of many centuries of ancient Kyiv. The Golden Gate was built in 1037 during the ruling of Yaroslav the Wise. Almost two centuries this building had not only defensive value but was a symbol of political independence and power of Kiev Rus. The Golden Gate was called similar to the Golden Gate of Constantinople, which was the main entrance to the city. Dilapidated by the Mongols the Golden Gate was the entrance to the central part of Kyiv until the middle of XVIII century. Hall-reconstruction "The Golden Gate" was opened to the 1500th anniversary of the capital in May 1982 and now this monument is the hallmark of the capital of independent Ukraine. At the Sophia's Square there is a monument to Bogdan Khmelnytskyj, he was one of the most famous captains in Ukraine, under whose leadership the liberation war against Polish oppression was.

To perpetuate this event it was decided to establish a monument to him. Such events contributes the national spirit, respect to the historical and cultural values of Ukraine among the students.
