Gotsman Monument, Bronze monument in historical city centre, Odesa, Ukraine.
The Gotsman Monument features a life-sized sculpture of David Markovich Gotsman descending stairs while feeding bronze pigeons near the police department.
The monument commemorates David Kurland, an Odesa police officer from the 1940s who inspired the character of Gotsman in wartime narratives.
This bronze sculpture represents the determination of law enforcement officers who maintained order in Odesa during the challenging post-war period.
Located at 12 Yevreiska Street in central Odesa, the monument stands near multiple transportation connections and walking paths through the district.
Bronze pigeons from the monument were stolen despite its location directly next to the main police department, reflecting local criminal ingenuity.
