The monument sits on an elevated location along Ulitsa Proletarskaya Gora and is easy to reach. Information plaques on site provide details about the writer's life and literary accomplishments.
The elevated position on the hill creates a visual link between Bunin's early journalism work and the place where he honed his craft. This placement reflects how the city itself became part of his artistic formation.
