Monument to Nikolai Gogol in Saint Petersburg, Bronze monument near Nevsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Monument to Nikolai Gogol stands on Malaya Konyushennaya Street, a pedestrian zone since 1996. Sculptor Mikhail Belov's bronze figure is 3.4 m tall on a 1.5 m pedestal cut from a granite monolith quarried near Vyborg; the casting was done at the Monument Skulptura plant. The front of the pedestal bears the gilded inscription "Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol".

A monument to Gogol was first planned for Leningrad in 1952, the centenary of the writer's death, but no competition entry satisfied the authorities. In 1996, when Malaya Konyushennaya Street became pedestrian, the Nevsky Prospekt Club association proposed placing the statue there. Sculptor Mikhail Belov and architect Vladimir Vasilkovsky designed it; it was cast in bronze at the Monument Skulptura plant and unveiled on 8 December 1997.

The statue portrays Gogol in a thoughtful pose and draws people who care about literature and the writer's deep connection to Saint Petersburg. Visitors use this spot to appreciate how his works shaped Russian writing and to remember his impact on the city's cultural life.

The monument sits on a pedestrian-friendly street with benches and good lighting that make visiting comfortable. Walking through the area lets you explore nearby surroundings and other cultural sites in the city at a relaxed pace.

A local legend claims the monument also honours crime boss Vladimir Barsukov-Kumarin, who resembled Gogol, and that the names of his group's members are engraved on the pedestal. The statue faces Kazan Cathedral, said to symbolise Kumarin's group's pressure on the Kazan gang.
