Mirror Stream

Mirror Stream (Ukrainian: Дзеркальний струмінь, Dzerkalʹnyi struminʹ; Russian: Зеркальная струя, Zerkalʹnaya struya) is a fountain in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The natural fountain was discovered in 1947.[1]

The fountain is near the Kharkiv Philharmonic.[2] It was built in 1947. It remains one of the most remarkable architectural monuments in Kharkiv and, due to that, has been listed in UNESCO's Encyclopedia.

A "Komsomol Heroes Alley" with busts of young World War II heroes was located behind the fountain from 1958 until 2013.[1] The busts were removed during the construction of the new church Khram Svyatykh Zhon-Myronosytsʹ, due to the 2015 decommunization laws they have never returned.[1]
