Monument to Alexander Pushkin, Bronze monument in central Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

The Monument to Alexander Pushkin features a bronze sculpture of the poet mounted on a high red granite pedestal at Pushkinskaya Street and Voroshilov Avenue.

Architect Mikhail Minkus designed this regional cultural heritage monument, which became the first literary memorial in Rostov-on-Don upon its inauguration in 1959.

Every June 6th, residents gather at the monument to honor Pushkin's birthday with poetry readings, flower offerings, and literary celebrations.
