Afanasiy Nikitin Monument, Bronze monument near Volga River in Tver, Russia.

The Afanasiy Nikitin Monument is a four-metre bronze statue of a bearded man in a long coat and boots, standing on a granite pedestal. The pedestal has a rounded top above a grey stone block with an inscribed plaque and widens into a stepped base. It rests on a circular cast-iron platform shaped like a boat with a horse's head, set in a paved area with a flower bed curving around the front.

The monument was unveiled in June 1955 on the Afanasiy Nikitin Embankment in the Zavolzhsky district, on the left bank of the Volga. It was made by sculptors S. M. Orlov and A. P. Zavalov to a design by architect G. A. Zakharov. India's ambassador to the USSR, K. P. S. Menon, attended the opening ceremony.

The monument honors a merchant from Tver who traveled to India in the 15th century and documented his experiences there. His journey connects the city to distant lands and shows the early trading relationships between Russia and Asia.

The monument stands on the left bank of the Volga in the Zavolzhsky district, on the embankment named after Nikitin. It faces an open paved area, so it can be viewed at any hour from the promenade. The Church of the Resurrection (Three Confessors) stands directly behind the statue.

The statue stands on a round cast-iron platform shaped like a boat with a horse's head, a detail many visitors miss while looking up at the figure. The Indian ambassador to the USSR, K. P. Sh. Menon, attended the June 1955 unveiling. Behind the monument rises the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, also called the Three Confessors.
