Monument to Pyotr Pakhtusov in Kronstadt
Monument to Pyotr Pakhtusov in Kronstadt, Memorial to Arctic explorer in Kronstadt, Russia.
The monument features a bronze sculpture of Pyotr Pakhtusov in naval uniform holding a map of Novaya Zemlya, mounted on a granite pedestal in central Kronstadt.
Erected in 1886, the monument commemorates Pyotr Kuzmich Pakhtusov who conducted groundbreaking Arctic expeditions between 1829-1835 before his death at age 35.
The memorial represents Russian maritime exploration heritage and serves as a symbol of national pride in polar scientific achievements and Arctic territorial claims.
Located on Makarovskaya Street in Kronstadt, the monument is easily accessible by local transport and forms part of historical walking tours through the naval city.
Funded entirely by donations from local sailors and residents who admired Pakhtusov, the monument stands where the city garrison once held military parades.
