Stepan Shahumyan Monument, Granite statue in Kentron District, Armenia.
The Stepan Shahumyan Monument features a full-height figure with crossed arms standing against a gray basalt wall with seven pylons.
The monument was inaugurated in 1931 to commemorate Stepan Shahumyan, who Lenin appointed as Extraordinary Temporary Commissioner in the Caucasus.
The monument represents a significant period of Armenian political evolution, combining architectural elements from both Soviet and Armenian traditions.
The monument stands at 990 meters elevation on Shahumyan Square near Republic Square, with direct access from central Yerevan streets.
The monument combines reddish granite for the main figure with gray basalt for the background wall, creating a strong material contrast.
