Ivan Susanin Monument, Memorial statue in Kostroma, Russia
The stone monument depicts a full-length figure of Ivan Susanin standing on a cylindrical pedestal near the Volga River bank.
The current monument, inaugurated in 1967, replaced an earlier 1851 memorial that was destroyed in 1934 during the Soviet period.
The monument represents a national hero who sacrificed his life by leading Polish troops into dense forests to protect the future Tsar Mikhail Romanov.
Located in the central area of Kostroma, the monument serves as a meeting point and orientation landmark for visitors exploring the city.
The statue design eliminates previous monarchical and religious symbols, focusing solely on the representation of the peasant hero in traditional attire.
