Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson, Bronze statue at Smolenskaya embankment, Russia
The life-sized bronze figures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson stand together on a pedestal near the British Embassy in Moscow.
Sculptor Andrei Orlov created this monument in 2007, inspired by the 1979 Soviet television adaptation featuring Vasily Livanov as Holmes.
The statue represents the strong influence of British literature in Russian entertainment, as evidenced by the success of Soviet adaptations.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking the metro to Smolenskaya station and walking along the Moscow River embankment.
This sculpture marks the only monument to fictional British detective characters in Russia, positioned near diplomatic quarters.
