Statue of Pushkin, Bronze statue in Laeken, Belgium

This bronze sculpture depicts the Russian poet dressed in a long coat with fabric appearing to catch the wind, standing at approximately 3.30 meters tall and 4.20 meters wide. The monument occupies the center of Place Pouchkine in the Laeken district, commanding attention in this dedicated public square.

Moscow-based sculptor Georgy Frangulyan created this bronze monument, which was unveiled on September 30, 1999, commemorating the poet's 200th birth anniversary. The project emerged from collaboration between Russian and Belgian cultural institutions.

The inscriptions on the base appear in French, Flemish, and Russian, showing Brussels' connection to Russian literary traditions and its multicultural identity. The square bearing his name has become a meeting place for those who value his poetry and literary legacy.

The monument sits in the center of Place Pouchkine in Laeken and is easily accessible on foot from multiple directions. The open square allows visitors to walk around the sculpture and view it from different angles.

Frangulyan previously created a monument to Peter the Great in Antwerp, showing that Belgian cities host multiple works by this Georgian artist. This connection between the two monuments reveals Belgium's broader engagement with Russian historical figures.
