Monument to Mikhail Lermontov, Bronze monument in central Pyatigorsk, Russia.
The bronze statue depicts Mikhail Lermontov seated on a granite pedestal, measuring 5.65 meters in height at a central location in Pyatigorsk.
This first monument dedicated to Lermontov in Russia was unveiled in 1889 after a nationwide fundraising campaign that collected 25,000 rubles from citizens.
The monument serves as a federal cultural heritage site and brings together poetry enthusiasts for annual festivals celebrating Russian literature.
The statue stands in Lermontov Park, which contains benches and landscaped areas offering views of Mount Mashuk and the Caucasus mountain range.
Alexander Opekushin designed the statue to show Lermontov in deep contemplation, with the poet's gaze directed toward the mountains he described in his works.
