On the site of the monument to the first People's Commissar of Industry of the USSR Sergo Ordzhonikidze, dismantled in 2016 as part of the decommunization, opposite the main administrative building of Azovstal, an installation titled "The Birth of Steel" appeared. A female figure engulfed in the flames of the liquid steel of a converter ladle, according to the director general of the Azovstal metallurgical plant of the Dutch mining and metallurgical company Metinvest B.V. (Metinvest) Enevera Tskitishvili will be a gift to all Ukrainians, Mariupol residents and employees of the company for the 15th anniversary of Metinvest and the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence.
“Therefore, we decided to make a gift to all Ukrainians, Mariupol citizens and employees of the company on the eve of the Day of Metallurgist and Miner by these significant dates. Another modern installation appeared at the entrance to the plant's management. It symbolizes the sacrament “Birth of Steel” and bears that name. Since its inception and throughout its history, our country, the company and the plant follow the same path of development, become hardened, become stronger. But at the same time they retain their originality, pristine beauty and uniqueness. In the hands of people of the fiery profession, steel is born from the ore mined from the depths of our earth - the basis for the creation of beautiful structures. Let this wonderful symbol inspire us to new achievements that strengthen the power and prosperity of our country, ”E. Tskitishvili wrote on his Facebook page.
