Памятник П. П. Ершову, Monument to author P.P. Yershov in Tobolsk, Russia
The bronze monument displays the young writer holding a firebird feather pen, accompanied by his famous character Humpbacked Horse at his feet.
The monument inauguration took place in 2008 during the renovation of the square for the 420th anniversary celebration of Tobolsk.
The sculpture represents P.P. Yershov, who wrote the famous Russian fairy tale 'The Little Humpbacked Horse' while studying at Saint Petersburg University.
Located in the upper part of Tobolsk near the Kremlin, the monument stands in a square with benches, cafes, and additional fairy tale character sculptures.
The monument features a whale sculpture with a miniature Tobolsk Kremlin on its back, connecting the fairy tale to the local architectural heritage.
