Monument of Leo Tolstoy in Tula
Monument of Leo Tolstoy in Tula, Bronze monument in Tolstoy Square, Tula, Russia
The bronze statue depicts Leo Tolstoy in a forward-striding position, wearing a peasant shirt with a rope belt at the end of Lenin Prospect.
The monument was inaugurated in 1973 after sculptor Vyacheslav Buyakin completed the work, which faced several design modifications during the Soviet period.
The statue stands as a symbol of Russian literature, positioned near Yasnaya Polyana where Tolstoy created his masterful novels and educational programs.
Visitors can reach the monument by following Lenin Avenue to Tolstovsky Square, located between buildings 74 and 76 in the center of Tula.
The sculptor originally intended to present Tolstoy barefoot to represent his connection with common people, but Soviet authorities required the addition of shoes.
