Monument to Koltsov, Monument to poet in Koltsov Gardens, Russia.

The Monument to Koltsov is a standing figure of the poet carved from light grey granite, rising on a rectangular pedestal of the same stone. The coat is cut into broad horizontal bands, one hand rests at the chest, and the pedestal's front face bears the carved name "КОЛЬЦОВ". The statue stands among green trees on Koltsovsky Boulevard.

The granite statue was unveiled on 22 October 1976 on an elevation created by demolishing old houses on Soviet Square. Sculptors P. I. Bondarenko and I. A. Savichev made it from five blocks of 6–8 tonnes each, with a base of about 70 tonnes. In September 1997 it was moved deeper into the square, and on 17 June 2017 it was dismantled for reconstruction, then re-erected on Koltsovsky Boulevard on 24 August 2018.

The monument stands on Koltsovsky Boulevard, named after the poet, near the Koltsov Drama Theatre. A city legend claims the statue was originally cast as Dzerzhinsky, Stalin or a Latvian rifleman, and that sculptor Bondarenko replaced the head with Koltsov's; the greatcoat the poet never wore is cited as evidence.

The monument sits in a public garden in central Voronezh that is freely accessible and reachable by public transportation or on foot. The site is open year-round and best visited during daylight hours to see the sculpture clearly.

The 1976 statue is assembled from five granite blocks of 6–8 tonnes each, held in place only by their own weight; the base alone weighs about 70 tonnes, the whole monument around 85 tonnes. A persistent Voronezh legend claims sculptor Bondarenko simply swapped a finished Soviet figure's head for Koltsov's, pointing to the heavy coat the poet never wore.
