A. P. Yermolov haykali, Bronze monument in central Oryol, Russia
The monument depicts a mounted General Yermolov standing roughly 5.4 meters tall on a granite base positioned near the Alexander Bridge. The surrounding square contains stone benches and planted flower beds where visitors can pause and observe.
This monument honors a general who commanded Russian forces during major military campaigns in the early 1800s. The statue was created following years of fundraising efforts and stands as a tribute to his significance in Russian military history.
The sculpture presents Yermolov in a heroic stance that reflects how Russian monuments honor military leaders of that era. People gather here to remember a general who shaped the nation's military history.
The site is open year-round and offers easy access, with plenty of space to walk around and view the monument from different angles. Visit on clear days to see the details of both the sculpture and the surrounding plaza more clearly.
The monument required two separate fundraising campaigns spanning more than a century, with the first effort interrupted by a major conflict. This long and complicated creation story makes the statue itself a reflection of determination across generations.
