Пам'ятник Учителю, Bronze monument to teachers in Toropets, Russia
The bronze sculpture depicts a teacher standing in a storytelling position, leaning against a school desk, representing educational dedication and knowledge transmission.
Installed on June 27, 1974, this monument was funded by graduates of Toropets School No. 1 from the 1940s and 1950s, including cardiologist Vladimir Almazov.
The monument became the first memorial dedicated to teachers in the Soviet Union, highlighting the profession's importance in Russian society.
Located on Komsomolskaya Street opposite School No. 1, the monument serves as a traditional photography spot for graduating classes.
Students developed a tradition of touching the teacher's sculptured foot for good grades, transforming the monument into a local educational talisman.
