Monument to Sergey Esenin in Ryazan

The 4.5-meter-tall bronze statue depicts the poet emerging from the ground with outstretched arms spanning 8 meters on a granite pedestal.

The monument was unveiled on October 2, 1975, marking the 80th anniversary of the birth of Sergey Esenin, created by sculptor Alexander Kibalnikov.

The monument represents Esenin in an expressive pose with an unbuttoned collar, reading poetry with his arms spread wide against the backdrop of birch trees.

Located on Petrova Street near the Trubezh River embankment, the monument stands opposite to the Ryazan Kremlin, next to the Church of the Savior on Yar.

The statue's foundation required over 200 cubic meters of concrete to support the 12-ton bronze sculpture mounted on rare amazonite granite from the Pamirs.
