Peter I, Bronze statue on Northern Dvina embankment in Arkhangelsk, Russia.
The bronze monument stands 7.5 meters tall, depicting Peter the Great in the uniform of the Preobrazhensky Regiment holding a telescope.
Inaugurated on July 10, 1914, the statue was removed during the 1920 revolution and remained in a local museum until its restoration in 1948.
The monument appears on the front side of the Russian 500-ruble banknote, making it a recognizable symbol across the entire country.
The statue is located near cafes and hotels in central Arkhangelsk, with evening illumination enhancing its appearance after sunset.
Solovetsky Monastery monks carved the pedestal from stone quarried at Kondostrov Island in the White Sea's Onega Bay.
