Monument to Vysotsky in Voronezh

Monument to Vysotsky in Voronezh, Bronze monument near Physical Education Institute in Voronezh, Russia.

The Monument to Vysotsky in Voronezh is a bronze sculpture placed in the pedestrian area of Ulitsa Karla Marksa. It portrays the singer seated on a chair, holding a guitar, in a relaxed and natural pose.

The monument was installed on 21 August 2009 and unveiled on 9 September at 14:00. The idea came from the Voronezh city culture department, which set up a heritage commission to review five designs by the Dikunov family; the work of Maxim Dikunov, son of sculptors Ivan Dikunov and Elza Pak, was chosen. It replaced a sculptural group of gymnasts that had decayed and was judged beyond restoration.

The monument depicts Vysotsky seated on a chair on a wooden stage, guitar in hand, smiling at the audience. In January 2017, on his 79th birthday, knitters from a church circle in Otradnoye made him a huge red size-94 sweater; after the celebration it was removed and given to the Vysotsky Museum on Taganka.

The monument stands in a busy pedestrian zone and is freely accessible at any time of day. Getting close to the sculpture is worth it, as many details become visible only when you look carefully.

The monument stands where a sculptural group of gymnasts once stood, removed after it decayed and was judged beyond restoration. Critics also noted that Vysotsky never visited Voronezh and had no link to the city, and questioned a site by the Institute of Physical Education, though his repertoire included songs about sport such as "Vratary" and "Utrennyaya gimnastika".
