Nikolai Ostrovsky Monument, Bronze and granite monument in Kyiv, Ukraine

The 3.4-meter-tall monument constructed from bronze and granite depicts Soviet writer Nikolai Ostrovsky in a contemplative stance against a vertical backdrop.

The monument commemorates Nikolai Ostrovsky, who wrote the novel 'How the Steel Was Tempered' while experiencing severe physical limitations in the early 20th century.

The monument represents an intersection of Soviet and Ukrainian literary traditions, marking the influence of socialist realism in Eastern European literature.
