It is hollow core titanium and was erected at the beginning of the 20th century as the centerpiece of the War Memorial Park alongside of Perchersky Lavra on the Dniper River. Yes, for about $7 you can climb the long, long stairway to the top and look out through the head area toward the left bank of Kyiv across the Dniper river. Kyiv, Ukraine 2009
