Monument to Sergey Esenin in Ryazan

The Monument to Sergey Esenin is a bronze statue of a poet standing 4.5 meters tall on a granite pedestal. The poet's arms span outward for 8 meters, giving the composition a dramatic expanse.

The monument was unveiled on October 2, 1975, marking the 80th anniversary of the poet's birth. Sculptor Alexander Kibalnikov created this bronze work for the city of Ryazan.

The monument shows the poet in an expressive pose with an open collar, as if reciting verses. The outstretched arms and birch trees behind create a living picture of his artistic passion.

The monument stands on Petrova Street near the Trubezh River embankment, directly across from the Ryazan Kremlin. It sits next to the Church of the Savior on Yar and is easy to reach on foot.

The statue's foundation required over 200 cubic meters of concrete to support the 12-ton bronze sculpture. The granite pedestal is made from rare amazonite stone from the Pamirs, giving the work a distinctive gleam.
