Malchish-Kibalchish, Soviet memorial in Gagarinsky District, Russia.

The monument to Malchish-Kibalchish is a 5-metre forged-copper sculpture at the crossing of Kosygina Street and Vernadsky Avenue, beside the Moscow City Palace of Children's and Youth Creativity on the Vorobyovy Hills. The barefoot boy wears shorts, a plain shirt and a budyonovka cap, holding a sabre in his right hand and a bugle in his left, as if stepping forward and calling others after him. Sculptor V. K. Frolov and architect V. S. Kubasov created it.

The monument was installed on 19 May 1972 for the 50th anniversary of the All-Union Pioneer Organization. In April 2022, for its own 50th anniversary, a full restoration began and was completed in November 2022. It is a regional cultural heritage site.

The character Malchish-Kibalchish comes from a popular children's book and became a symbol of courage and resistance for Soviet youth. You can see how a literary figure was transformed into a public monument that continues to hold meaning today.

The monument stands at the junction of Kosygina Street and Vernadsky Avenue on Vorobyovy Hills, beside the Moscow City Palace of Children's and Youth Creativity. The 5-metre figure is visible from the crossing, and the surrounding streets are open for pedestrians approaching on foot.

The statue is made of wrought copper, not bronze, and its authors are sculptor V. K. Frolov and architect V. S. Kubasov. Malchish is shown barefoot in short trousers and a plain shirt, wearing a budyonnovka cap, with a sabre in his right hand and a horn in his left, as if about to step forward and call others after him.
