Pushkin, Bronze statue in Arts Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The four-meter bronze figure of Alexander Pushkin stands on a red granite pedestal, with his head tilted back and right arm gracefully extended.
The monument, created by sculptor Mikhail Anikushin, was inaugurated on June 19, 1957, during the celebration of Leningrad's 250th anniversary.
The statue represents the fourth memorial to the celebrated Russian poet in Saint Petersburg, following monuments on Pushkinskaya Street, at the dueling site, and Moyka Palace.
The monument sits at the intersection of multiple public transportation routes, making it accessible for visitors exploring the central district of Saint Petersburg.
The sculptor spent eight years perfecting the statue to portray Pushkin as a young and approachable figure, earning the prestigious Lenin Prize for this work.
