Monument to Gogol, Bronze monument in Arbat District, Russia.

The Monument to Gogol features a seated figure of the writer cast in bronze upon a granite pedestal near Nikitsky Boulevard.

Constructed in 1909 to mark Gogol's birth centenary, the statue depicts the writer in his later years with a contemplative expression.

The monument stands as part of the Gogol House complex, where scenes from his literary works decorate the base of the structure.

Located at 7A Nikitsky Boulevard, the monument is within walking distance from Arbatskaya metro station and several historical buildings.

The statue survived destruction orders during Stalin's era when museum staff concealed it, leading to its relocation outside Gogol's residence.
