Памятник Ивану Грозному, Bronze equestrian statue in Oryol, Russia
The bronze statue depicts Ivan IV on horseback, holding a cross in his right hand and pointing a sword toward the ground with his left hand.
Inaugurated in October 2016 to mark the 450th anniversary of Oryol's founding, this monument stands as Russia's first statue dedicated to Ivan IV.
The monument, located near the Epiphany Cathedral at the confluence of the Oka and Orlik rivers, represents the exact location where Ivan IV ordered the fortress construction.
Visitors can capture the most compelling photographs of the monument from the Red Bridge, which offers views of both the statue and the cathedral domes.
The statue's creation sparked public discussions, with 72 percent of Oryol residents supporting its installation despite the controversial nature of Ivan IV's legacy.
