Памятник Д. И. Менделееву, Bronze statue of chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in Tobolsk, Russia.

The Mendeleev Monument is a dark bronze figure of a man in a long coat, one arm at his side, standing upright on a tall rectangular pedestal with a slightly wider base and top ledge. It stands on a low platform at the crossing of Mendeleev Avenue and Komsomolsky Avenue in Tobolsk's Nagornaya part, surrounded by stone-edged beds and streetlamps.

The monument was erected in 1984 to honor Mendeleev, who created the periodic table and fundamentally changed how science understands matter and elements. His breakthrough work in the 19th century established the foundation for all modern chemistry.

Mendeleev was made an honorary citizen of Tobolsk in December 1899, when he visited his native city on his way to Siberia. His name marks the avenue beside the monument, a street in the lower town, and the railway settlement of Mendeleevo north of the city. Since 1969 the local pedagogical institute has also borne his name.

The monument is located in a central, easily accessible part of Tobolsk, making it simple to reach on foot as part of a city tour. You can visit at any time of year, though winter offers a different view with snow covering the surrounding landscape.

Mendeleev visited Tobolsk in December 1899, and the city then entered his name in its book of honour, making him an honorary citizen. The monument stands at the crossing of Mendeleev Avenue and Komsomolsky Avenue in the Nagornaya part of the city, and it is a state-protected monument of history and culture.
