Statue of Pushkin, Bronze monument in Pushkinskaya Square, Moscow, Russia
The statue presents Alexander Pushkin standing in contemplation, with a bronze pedestal displaying verses from his poem The Memorial.
Created by sculptor Alexander Opekushin, the monument was unveiled in 1880 and moved to its current location across Tverskaya Street in 1950.
The statue serves as the main memorial to Russia's national poet and remains a central location for literary celebrations and poetry readings.
Three metro stations - Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya, and Chekhovskaya - provide direct access to the monument in central Moscow's Tverskoy District.
During the Soviet era, this location witnessed the first spontaneous political demonstration in December 1965, known as the Glasnost Meeting.
