Tatishchev Monument, Bronze monument in Tolyatti, Russia

The memorial features a horseman on a reared steed, mounted on a 14-meter limestone pedestal shaped like a Petrine-era fortress with polygonal towers.

Vasily Tatishchev, a Russian statesman and historian, founded Stavropol in 1737 as a fortress city to protect Russian lands from nomadic raids.

The monument, created by Moscow sculptor Alexander Rukavishnikov, represents the power of Tolyatti and marks the location near the original submerged Stavropol city.

The memorial stands on the banks of the Volga River, with thirty cherry trees planted at its base during the International Theater Festival in 2000.

The pedestal design incorporates architectural elements of an 18th-century fortress, complete with stone walls and multiple angular defensive towers.
