Monument to Minin and Pozharsky
Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, Bronze monument in Red Square, Moscow, Russia
The statue features two heroes, with Minin standing on the left presenting a sword to Pozharsky, who points towards the Kremlin.
In 1612, Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky gathered a volunteer militia that successfully liberated Moscow from Polish occupation forces.
The monument depicts Russian resistance through the clothing differences between Minin in traditional garments and Pozharsky in military attire.
Visitors can find the monument near Saint Basil's Cathedral, where it was relocated in 1936 to facilitate military parades through Red Square.
The statue's base includes a bronze relief showing citizens donating their possessions to support the national liberation movement of 1612.
