The place of Lermontov's duel
The place of Lermontov's duel, Historical obelisk at Mashuk Mountain, Russia
The 8.3-meter stone obelisk features a bronze portrait of Mikhail Lermontov and stands surrounded by metal chains on the northwestern slope of Mount Mashuk.
The memorial marks the location where Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov died in a duel with Major Nikolai Martynov on July 15, 1841.
The monument, designed by sculptor Boris Mikeshin in 1915, represents Russian commemorative architecture with classical pyramid shapes and decorative griffins at its corners.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking a 40-minute walk from the Tsvetnik Park in central Pyatigorsk through marked pathways on Mount Mashuk.
Every July 15th, poets and literature enthusiasts gather at this federal cultural heritage site to conduct public readings of Lermontov's works.
