Chekhov Monument, Bronze monument in Red Square, Taganrog, Russia.
The bronze statue depicts Anton Chekhov seated on stone, holding a book with his finger between pages while gazing into the distance.
The monument, designed by G. A. Zakharov and sculpted by Iulian Rukavishnikov, opened on January 29, 1960, marking the centennial of Chekhov's birth.
This federal cultural heritage site honors Chekhov's literary contributions through a three-meter-tall statue that stands as a central element of Taganrog.
Visitors can find the monument in the center of Chekhov Square, which was established in 1934 in front of Alexandrovskiye Trade Rows.
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev placed flowers at this monument during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Chekhov's birth in 2010.
