Statue of Dzerzhinsky in Saratov, Soviet regional heritage statue in Saratov, Russia.

The Statue of Dzerzhinsky in Saratov stands on Privokzalnaya Square, the square in front of the railway station. The sculptor was Pavel Fyodorovich Dunduk (1889–1940) and the architect Karpov. The pedestal came from an earlier monument to Alexander II. Since the square's reconstruction in 1977 the figure has faced away from the station, turned 180 degrees from its original orientation.

The monument was installed on 23 December 1939 on the station square (Privokzalnaya ploshchad) in Saratov. Its sculptor was Pavel Fyodorovich Dunduk (15 November 1889 – 16 January 1940); the architect was Karpov. The pedestal came from an earlier monument to Alexander II. In 1977, after the square was rebuilt, the figure was turned 180 degrees.

The statue stands on Privokzalnaya Square facing the railway station, a placement tied to the site's role as a gateway to the city. Its pedestal was reused from an earlier monument to Alexander II, so the base predates the figure it now carries. The square remains a meeting and transit point for travellers arriving by train.

The monument stands on Privokzalnaya Square, the plaza in front of Saratov's main railway station, so it is reached directly from the station forecourt. Since 1977 the figure has faced away from the station, turned 180 degrees during the square's reconstruction. The square is an open, busy transit space, best viewed in daylight.

The pedestal beneath the statue was reused from an earlier monument to Tsar Alexander II. The figure also faced the station until the square was rebuilt in 1977, when it was turned 180 degrees. The source notes that, unlike Moscow's similar statue, this one was never even intended for removal.
