Dostoevskiy Haykali, Bronze monument in Tobolsk, Russia.

The Monument to Dostoevsky in Tobolsk is a bronze figure of the writer seated on a bench-like bronze base, set on a rectangular red granite pedestal. He leans slightly forward, hands near his knees, with a prison shackle and a Gospel on the bench beside him. Gold Cyrillic lettering on the pedestal reads "ФЁДОРУ МИХАЙЛОВИЧУ ДОСТОЕВСКОМУ".

The monument was unveiled on 29 October 2010 in the square beside the Church of Peter and Paul, a site approved by Tobolsk's historical council because Dostoevsky stayed nearby at the transit prison. The idea came from Arkady Elfimov, head of the charitable fund "Vozrozhdenie Tobolska", which financed the work; the sculptor was Mikhail Pereyaslavets. It was consecrated by Archbishop Dimitri of Tobolsk and Tyumen.

On the bench beside the seated figure lie prison shackles and a Gospel given to Dostoevsky by Natalya Fonvizina, wife of the Decembrist Mikhail Fonvizina. The monument stands in the square of the same name beside the Church of Peter and Paul, and was consecrated by Archbishop Dimitri of Tobolsk and Tyumen with the choir of the Tobolsk Orthodox Theological Seminary.

The monument stands in the square of the same name beside the Church of Peter and Paul, not by the Tobolsk Kremlin. The site was chosen because Dostoevsky stayed in the transit prison in this district in 1850. Look for the bronze bench: prison shackles and a Gospel rest on it beside the writer.

On the bench beside Dostoevsky lie prison shackles and a Gospel given to him by Natalya Fonvizina, wife of the Decembrist Mikhail Fonvizin. The writer sits on a rough wooden block, and the monument was consecrated by Archbishop Dimitri of Tobolsk and Tyumen with a seminary choir.
