Monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky, Ufa

The Felix Dzerzhinsky Monument is a three-meter bronze sculpture located in Dzerzhinsky Park in Ufa, positioned behind the Rodina cinema. The standing figure faces a specific direction from within the park grounds.

The monument was created in 1987 by Leningrad artist Albert Seraphimovich Charkin. It honors Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founding leader of Soviet state security organizations.

The monument sits within a memorial area where rows of poplars create a formal setting for quiet reflection. This green space draws visitors to pause and consider the place's role in local memory.

The park is open year-round and accessible through main pathways. Visitors can view the bronze figure from multiple points throughout the green space.

Local residents often refer to the monument by a nickname that references its direction of facing. The figure gazes away from the cinema behind it, which is a detail that locals find noteworthy.
