Памятник И.В. Мичурину, Monument to scientist in Michurinsk, Russia
The monument to Ivan Michurin is a granite sculpture showing the scientist holding a book in one hand and apples in the other. It stands on a red pedestal within the grounds of the main nursery that bears his name.
The monument was unveiled on June 7, 1939, four years after Ivan Michurin's death. Soviet authorities commissioned it to honor his lifetime of work in developing new plant varieties.
The monument reflects how Michurin was honored in Soviet times through his decorated status displayed on the structure. Walking around it, you notice how the site has become a place where people remember his role in advancing agriculture.
The monument is located within the nursery grounds and is easily accessible during the day. The surrounding area is well maintained, allowing visitors to view the sculpture comfortably from different angles.
The pedestal carries engravings of Michurin's own words about plant transformation and humanity's connection to nature. These inscriptions add a philosophical layer to the monument that goes beyond simple commemoration.
