Пам'ятник Андрію Туполеву, Bronze monument to aircraft designer in Kazan, Russia.
The Tupolev monument is a 5.6-meter bronze sculpture showing the aircraft designer holding a Tu-22M3 model in his right hand and rolled blueprints in his left. The figure stands on a granite base positioned at a busy intersection in downtown Kazan.
The monument was unveiled on June 4, 2014, honoring Tupolev's contributions to Soviet aviation and his work on numerous aircraft designs. His designs shaped military and civilian aviation across decades of the Soviet era.
The monument sits at the crossroads of three streets in the city center, marking Kazan's deep ties to aircraft manufacturing. It draws students, engineers, and visitors who want to understand the region's role in Soviet aviation.
The monument is located in a central area of the city and is easily accessible from several directions. Visitors can view it at any time since it stands in a public outdoor space.
The granite base features engraved Hammer and Sickle medals alongside Russian text identifying the honoree. These Soviet symbols tie the figure to the era in which his most significant work took place.
