Oleksandr Maiko

Oleksandr Maiko was a Ukrainian sculptor, born on July 11, 1922, in Nove Porichchia, in the Khmelnytskyi region. He graduated from the Lviv Institute of Applied and Decorative Art in 1953 and died in Lviv on September 12, 1979.

In the Moldavian SSR he made a Lenin statue for the Supreme Soviet hall in Chișinău (1956), a Lenin for Ungheni (1963) and, as co-author, a Karl Marx for Chișinău (1967). The Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine also credits him with a co-authored 1975 memorial complex to Soviet soldiers in Chișinău. That matches the Eternity Memorial Complex, though the encyclopedia does not name it.
