Monument of Muravyov-Amursky, Khabarovsk, Bronze memorial on Amursky Boulevard, Khabarovsk, Russia
The memorial features General Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky in military dress standing on a granite base along Amursky Boulevard overlooking the Amur River. The bronze figure sits within a landscaped park setting where people stroll and rest on nearby benches.
The memorial was created in 1891 by sculptor Alexander Opekushin and placed along the boulevard. It was taken down in 1929 but returned to its original location in 1993.
The memorial marks the founding of the city and Russia's expansion into the region during the 19th century. Visitors can use the boulevard location to reflect on how this period shaped the community that grew here.
The location along the boulevard offers easy access to walking paths, shaded benches for rest, and clear river views. The nearby Regional Museum can be reached on foot, making it simple to combine both visits.
The memorial appears on the Russian 5000 ruble banknote, making it one of the few monuments featured on currency. This placement reflects its importance as a symbol of the Far East's history and identity.
