Jakub Kolas, Bronze and granite memorial in Independence Avenue, Belarus
The statue stands 8.5 meters tall and features Yakub Kolas seated on a bench, surrounded by characters from his literary works.
The monument was unveiled in 1972 during the 90th anniversary celebration of the birth of Yakub Kolas, a founding figure of Belarusian literature.
The sculpture integrates characters from Kolas's poems into the composition, including figures from 'New Land' and 'Simon the Musician' arranged around the central figure.
