Памятник Муравьёву-Амурскому

The monument to Muravyov-Amursky is a 3-meter-high bronze figure showing an administrator holding a scroll in his left hand. The statue stands on a granite base directly on the Amur riverbank, gazing out across the water.

The monument was unveiled in 1993 and honors a high-ranking 19th-century administrator who advanced Russian expansion in this far eastern region. His influence significantly shaped the founding and development of this city.

The monument marks the role of an administrator in shaping this city and region's development. Visitors can see how a historical figure remains present in local memory and identity.

The monument is located on the riverbank and is easy to reach on foot; the spot offers an open view across the river. The best time to visit is on dry days when the path along the bank is accessible.

A local artist created the original model, which was later cast at a foundry before arriving at its current location. The statue was later moved 40 meters further south to find a better spot on the riverbank.
