Monument to Ivan Turgenev, Bronze monument in Oryol, Russia
The monument depicts Turgenev seated in bronze upon a black granite pedestal, looking outward toward the river's expanse below. The figure occupies an elevated location on the riverbank, creating a commanding view across the landscape.
The monument was unveiled in 1968, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the renowned writer's birth. This timing reflected the national recognition of his lasting influence on Russian literature and culture.
The inscription on the pedestal carries Turgenev's name, serving as a daily reminder of his impact on Russian literary life. The work was created by three sculptors collaborating to honor a writer deeply connected to this city.
The monument is located in a central spot near the city's culture and recreation park, making it easy to visit. From this elevated position on the riverbank, visitors can take in views across the water while exploring the area.
The pedestal inscription records his exact birth date in the old Russian calendar style and his death date with specific days included. These precise details underscore how the creators wanted to capture the writer's complete life span in the monument's design.
