Muso Jalil haykali, Granite monument to a poet in Zyablikovo, Moscow, Russia

Muso Jalil haykali is a bronze statue located on a street named after the poet in Moscow, standing on a granite pedestal at the entrance to a riverside park. The memorial captures the likeness of a figure who became known for his written work and his place in 20th-century literature.

The statue was created in 2012 to commemorate a Soviet Tatar poet whose life spanned through World War II until his death in 1944. The project brought together artists and regional partners who worked to establish this memorial in Moscow.

The granite pedestal bears the Russian inscription "Мусе Джалилю", and on its left side a Russian text records that the monument was erected in 2012 by decision of the Moscow and Tatarstan governments, naming sculptor Yu. V. Zlotya and architect Yu. V. Kalmykov. The figure holds a notebook representing the Moabit Notebooks, the cycle of poems Jalil wrote in German captivity, which was later awarded the Lenin Prize.

The monument stands at the corner of Musa Dzhalil Street and Brateyevskaya Street, on the territory of Tsaritsyno park in the Zyablikovo district, south of the city centre. The sculptural group is 4.6 m tall and weighs 1.5 tonnes, so it is visible from the junction. The granite pedestal carries inscriptions on the front and left side naming the sculptor Yuri Zlotya and architect Yuri Kalmykov.

The street where the memorial stands is named after the poet himself, creating a direct connection between the public space and the person being honored. This naming choice reflects how the city has integrated his legacy into its everyday geography.
