Monument to Maxim Gorky, Bronze monument in Gorky Square, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The bronze statue stands thirteen meters tall, depicting Maxim Gorky in a walking pose against the wind on a granite pedestal.
Created by sculptor Vera Mukhina and architects Victor Lebedev and Pavel Shteller, the monument was unveiled in 1952 after delays from World War II.
The monument pays tribute to Maxim Gorky, who established the Socialist Realism literary movement and documented Russian society through his writings.
Located at the intersection of multiple public transport routes, the monument serves as a central meeting point for guided tours of Nizhny Novgorod.
The statue portrays Gorky's coat appearing to billow in the wind, reflecting the technical mastery of bronze casting in Soviet monumental art.
