Monument of Pushkin, Bronze monument in central Perm, Russia
The Monument of Pushkin is a full-length bronze statue of the Russian poet located near Siberian Street and the Noble Assembly building in the city center. The figure depicts him in a relaxed, walking pose within a landscaped square that includes seating areas and connects to major pedestrian pathways.
The monument was unveiled in 1993 after efforts to create a tribute to the famous poet had begun in the 1980s. This completion marked an important moment for the city, finally bringing a permanent recognition of its literary heritage into public view.
The square around the monument becomes a gathering place for literature lovers, especially during birthday celebrations in June when poetry readings and public events take place. Local residents pass through here regularly, making it part of the city's daily cultural life.
The monument sits in a central square that is easy to reach on foot and accessible from several main streets throughout the city. Visitors can find comfortable seating and are surrounded by pedestrian paths, making it convenient to combine a visit with other walks through the area.
Sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov chose an unconventional approach by showing Pushkin as an ordinary person walking past rather than in a traditional thoughtful pose. This choice makes the statue feel more human and less ceremonial than typical monuments.
