Monument to Alexander II, Bronze monument in Central District, Donetsk, Ukraine
The Monument to Alexander II stands near the Transfiguration Cathedral, featuring a 2.2-meter zinc statue mounted on a 5.8-meter sandstone pedestal.
Built in 1916 as the first monument in Yuzovka, now Donetsk, the structure was commissioned to mark fifty years since the abolition of serfdom.
The monument design underwent examination at the Academy of Fine Arts by experts L. Benoit, Chizhov, and Kotov before receiving installation approval.
The monument's location in the market square provides convenient access for visitors exploring the historical center of Donetsk.
The monument collapsed just days before its official unveiling in July 1916, leading to multiple theories about structural failures and possible sabotage.
