  8. Kharkov’s Statue To Lovers created by a young artist named Dimitriy Ivanchenko

  9. And if kissing like this seems at all uncomfortable to you, Dimitriy had this to say: “This is not an uncomfortable position. Love is keeping them up. They are being help up by a kiss.”

  10. In 2009, after repeated instances of vandalism, city leaders decided to turn the statue into a fountain and gave the entire square around the kissing couple a face lift. Dimitriy’s hope for the statue to become a popular place for dates seems to have become a reality as many people spend time sitting in the benches and lying out on the grass around the fountain.
