Monument to the Crocodile, Bronze monument on Sovetskaya Street, Izhevsk, Russia.
The Monument to the Crocodile features four bronze figures including Gena the Crocodile playing harmonica, Cheburashka, Lariska the Rat, and Shapoklyak with a slingshot.
Sculptor Oleg Ershov created this monument in 2005, establishing a permanent tribute to characters from a Russian children's animated series at the intersection with Kommunarov Street.
The monument represents characters from Russian animation that have influenced multiple generations, with Gena the Crocodile singing while other figures gather around.
Visitors can reach the monument by following Sovetskaya Street to its intersection with Kommunarov Street, where the bronze figures stand in clear view.
The statue of Lariska the Rat from this monument collection has disappeared several times throughout the years but has always returned to its position.
