Monument to Dostoyevsky, St. Petersburg, Bronze statue near Vladimir Cathedral, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The bronze monument presents Dostoyevsky in a seated position with hands resting on his leg, measuring three meters in height on a granite base.
The monument, erected in 1997, fills a notable gap as Saint Petersburg had no official memorial to Dostoyevsky despite his strong connections to the city.
The statue location at Vladimirskaya Square connects to several settings from Dostoyevsky's novels, including scenes from Crime and Punishment and White Nights.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking the metro to Vladimirskaya station, with several hotels and restaurants within walking distance.
The sculpture design emerged from a competition where the winning artist chose to depict Dostoyevsky wearing a hat, contrary to alternative proposals.
