Monument to Nikolai Kuznetsov in Yekaterinburg
Monument to Nikolai Kuznetsov in Yekaterinburg, Soviet war hero memorial in Ordzhonikidzevskiy District, Yekaterinburg, Russia
The Monument to Nikolai Kuznetsov is a bronze statue depicting the intelligence officer in an active pose, mounted on a base made of granite and decorative gabbro stone. The figure rises about 40 feet (12 meters) tall and stands in the Ordzhonikidzevskiy District as part of the city's memorial landscape.
The memorial was erected in the mid-1980s to honor a Soviet intelligence officer active during World War II. Its construction reflected the Soviet Union's tradition of commemorating military heroes through public monuments.
The memorial honors a wartime intelligence operative whose achievements were celebrated across the Soviet Union. You can sense how this site served to remind people of the nation's military history and heroic figures.
The memorial is located in a central area of the district and can be accessed easily on foot. The site is positioned near major street intersections, making it simple to find and visit during a walking tour of the area.
The memorial was created through the collaboration of two artists working within the Soviet monument-building tradition. Their partnership exemplifies how public memorials of this era required the combined skills of both architects and sculptors.
