Памятник Алёше Пешкову, Bronze monument in central Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The monument to Alexei Peshkov (later Maxim Gorky) is a bronze sculpture in central Nizhny Novgorod depicting the future writer as a teenager. The figure stands in a relaxed posture with hands in pockets, conveying the impression of a thoughtful young man in an ordinary moment of his life.
The monument commemorates a significant Russian writer whose youth began in this city during the 19th century. His years in Nizhny Novgorod shaped his later path as an artist and thinker.
The statue shows the young man in an everyday pose with hands in pockets, as he moved through daily life in this city. The figure conveys a sense of modesty and quiet reflection that was typical for a working person of his era.
The monument sits in a central location that is easy to reach and near other sights worth visiting. Visitors can explore it on foot and view the surrounding area during a walk through the city.
The sculpture captures an immediate, accessible moment rather than showing the man in a formal or heroic pose. This choice makes the monument more personal and closer to the everyday reality of the young man it honors.
