Statue of Pushkin, Yoshkar-Ola, Bronze monument in central square, Yoshkar-Ola, Russia.

The monument is a full-length bronze figure of Alexander Pushkin, his right hand resting on a fluted Ionic column and his head slightly bowed. The 185 cm sculpture stands on a polished granite pedestal 227 cm high, itself set on a two-step stylobate, giving a total height of 458 cm. Cast bronze letters on the pedestal read "А. С. Пушкин".

The square and street were laid out in the 19th century as Rozhdestvensky Lane, renamed Pushkinskaya in the early 20th century. A concrete bust by V. I. Ivanov after Yekaterina Belashova's design was placed in 1966; it deteriorated and was replaced. Moscow sculptor Boris Dyuzhev cast the bronze figure, installed 5 June 1980 and unveiled 5 July 1980 during Soviet Literature Days in the Mari ASSR.

The square around the statue is named after Pushkin, and the street leading to it was called Rozhdestvensky Lane in the 19th century before becoming Pushkinskaya Street in the early 20th century. The monument was unveiled on 5 July 1980 during the Days of Soviet Literature in the Mari ASSR, timed to precede the poet's birthday.

The statue stands deep inside Pushkin Square, at the junction of footpaths, closing the view down Pushkin Street. The square sits among multi-storey residential blocks; the granite stylobate is reached by two low steps, and the area around it is planted with flowerbeds, tall trees and shrubs.

The statue is a bronze cast of an interior sculpture made for the Soviet display at the 1977 Paris International Book Fair; a similar cast was placed in Yelets in 1979. Its height of 185 cm is modest because it was not designed for a public square, and specialists note its disproportion with the surrounding buildings.
