Monument to Muravyov-Amursky in Vladivostok, Bronze monument in central Vladivostok, Russia.
The Monument to Muravyov-Amursky is a bronze statue on a granite base depicting a military figure in full dress uniform, positioned in the heart of Vladivostok. The figure faces eastward, overlooking the harbor and surrounding city.
Count Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky served as Governor-General of Eastern Siberia from 1856 to 1861, using diplomacy to solidify Russian claims to territories along the Amur River. His efforts established Russia's presence in what became the Far East.
The monument marks a key moment when Russia expanded its influence into the Far East, and people in Vladivostok see it as central to their city's identity. Standing in a prominent location, it connects daily life to the region's past.
The monument sits in a central location that is easy to reach on foot from major streets and squares in the city center. Visit during daylight hours to see both the statue and the harbor view clearly.
The monument was placed at a spot where you can see the entire harbor and the Pacific coastline stretching below. This vantage point makes it one of the best places in the city to understand why the location mattered so much to Russian expansion.
