Monument to Sir James Wylie, Saint Petersburg
Monument to Sir James Wylie, Saint Petersburg, Bronze monument in Vyborgsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The monument to Sir James Wylie stands in the courtyard of the Military Medical Academy in Vyborgsky District. The bronze statue was created by sculptor D. I. Jensen and architect A. I. Shtakenshneider to honor this influential Scottish physician.
Sir James Wylie, a Scottish physician, led the Russian Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy from 1808 to 1838 and introduced important medical reforms. The monument was erected in 1859 to honor his lasting influence on Russian medicine.
The monument represents the connection between Scottish and Russian medical traditions through the figure of Sir James Wylie, who introduced medical reforms in Russia.
The monument sits in the academy courtyard at the intersection of Academician Lebedev Street 6 and Botkin Street 8. Access is through the public gates of the campus; visitors should be respectful of the academic surroundings.
Wylie was the only baronet in Russian history and founded the medical journal Voenno-Meditsinskii Zhurnal, which continues publication to this day. His name remains less recognized than his contributions to developing Russian healthcare.
