Panikovsky statue in Kyiv, Bronze statue in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Panikovsky statue stands 197 centimeters tall near Khreshchatyk Street, depicting a character with dark glasses, a hat, and a cane.
The monument, created by sculptor Vitali Sivko, was installed in 1998 to commemorate a character from the novel The Golden Calf by Ilf and Petrov.
The statue represents a clever pickpocket from pre-revolutionary Russia and features a resemblance to actor Zinovy Gerdt from the film adaptation.
The monument sits at the intersection of Khreshchatyk and Proriznoy streets, providing an easily accessible meeting point for visitors exploring central Kyiv.
The bronze figure includes a hidden detail visible only through a mirror placed beneath the statue's shoe, showing the character stepping on a coin.
