If you happen to visit Kyiv this week, don't waste your time trying to find this cutie. The monument was taken away by its author, Konstantin Skretutskiy, for the long-needed reconstruction.
They left the following announcement instead: "Ran away to count stars. I'll be back on May, 26".

This cutie is probably the most touching monument in Kyiv.
Often referred to as The Hedgehog in the Fog, a hero of the fabulous short animated movie by Yurii Norshtein, which was an absolute cult for few generations in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet countries. This is why it is one of the most adored Kyiv monuments.
Yet, passing by...
