Памятник Михаилу Щепкину, Bronze monument in Sobornaya Square, Belgorod, Russia.
The Mikhail Shchepkin monument is a bronze statue on Sobornaya Square in Belgorod, depicting the actor seated in a chair while holding a cane. The figure sits atop a polished pink granite pedestal that forms a solid base for the artwork.
The monument was created by sculptors Vyacheslav Klykov and Anatoly Shishkov along with architect Stanislav Mikhalev and completed in 1988. The work was commissioned to mark the 200th anniversary of the actor's birth.
The monument stands next to the Belgorod Drama Theater, which has borne Shchepkin's name since 1956. The square serves as a gathering place where visitors connect the actor's legacy to the living theater community.
The monument is located on the central Sobornaya Square, where cultural events are regularly held. The open plaza is easy to navigate and offers a pleasant spot to visit at any time of day.
The memorial plaque on the pedestal informs visitors about Mikhail Shchepkin's role as a pioneer of realism in 19th-century Russian theater. These inscribed details help visitors understand the actor's deeper importance to theater history and artistic development.
