Yanka Kupala Monument

The Yanka Kupala Monument is a bronze statue located on Kutuzovsky Prospekt in Moscow showing a full-size figure of the poet. The sculpture stands near the Third Ring Road and remains easily visible from the surrounding public space.

The monument was erected in 2007 at a location connected to the poet's life, near where he died in Moscow in 1942. The placement came nearly 65 years after his death as recognition of his importance to the literary world.

The monument honors a major Belarusian poet whose works remain central to literature in his home country. It marks a location of literary importance and shows how deeply this writer is valued in cultural memory.

The monument is centrally located in Moscow and can be reached using public transportation with several metro stations nearby. Visitors should note that the site sits on a major avenue, so visiting during quieter hours is advisable.

The sculpture was created by two artists who integrated natural elements into its design to express the poet's connection to his homeland's landscape. This blend of figure and nature makes the work stand out among other monuments in the city.
