In 1882 the House of Merchants assembly was constructed at the beginning of Vladimir descent. The park around it was called Merchants’ garden. The Chronicle tells that it was a very beautiful place, from which there was a wonderful view of the Dnieper and the entire city. However, in 1982 the garden was destroyed, and the People’s Friendship Arch and a sculpture symbolizing a brotherhood of Russian and Ukrainian peoples appeared here.
