Памятник Тарковскому, Monument to filmmaker in Suzdal, Russia
The monument is a bronze sculpture that rises 4.5 meters high and displays multiple figures connected to each other. It stands near the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery on the banks of the Kamenka River and carries inscriptions honoring key members of the production team.
The monument was unveiled in 2017 and honors the work of an important filmmaker whose notable film was shot in part here in 1966. Its creation was a recognition of the film's legacy and its connection to Suzdal.
The sculpture shows three figures that work together to create deeper meaning: the filmmaker himself and two main characters from his film, appearing like actors who share a story. This combination makes the work more than just a memorial to one person.
The monument is easy to find since it sits near a well-known monastery in the city. Visitors can explore the grounds around the river to view the work within its setting and take in the surroundings.
During the opening ceremony, soil from the original filming location of a celebrated scene was placed at the base. This small gesture links the physical sculpture directly to the place where the story was first brought to life.
