Monument to Leo Tolstoy on Prechistenka
Monument to Leo Tolstoy on Prechistenka, Monument at Prechistenka Street in Khamovniki District, Russia
The granite monument at 11 Prechistenka Street displays Leo Tolstoy in a standing position with his head tilted and hands resting at his waist.
Sculptor Sergey Merkurov completed the monument in 1913 using a death mask he created of Leo Tolstoy in November 1910 as reference material.
The monument represents a key element of the Leo Tolstoy State Museum complex, offering visitors a connection to Russian literary heritage through sculpture.
Located at coordinates 55.742663, 37.5969, the monument stands in central Moscow near other cultural institutions and transportation connections.
The figure emerges from red coarse granite, demonstrating Merkurov's pre-revolution sculptural style through generalized forms and minimal detail work.
