Yuriy Ervye Haykali, Bronze monument in central Tyumen, Russia.

The Yuriy Ervye Monument is a silver-grey sculpture of the geologist in expedition clothing, standing 2.8 m tall with his right hand on a large boulder. The boulder stands for the Tyumen subsoil drilled by a special bit, and the black granite pedestal stands for oil. It faces the Glavtyumengeologiya building he headed in the 1960s and 1970s.

The monument was laid on 14 April 2004 and unveiled on 14 April 2006, on the eve of Yuriy Ervye's birthday, in front of the Glavtyumengeologiya building that he headed in the 1960s and 1970s. Tyumen sculptor Viktor Afanasyev won the competition with his design; architect Viktor Stankevsky collaborated on it. The project cost 18.5 million rubles, funded by the Tyumen region, the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi okrugs, and companies including Yamburggazdobycha, NOVATEK and Lukoil-Western Siberia.

The inscription on the boulder reads "To Yuri Georgievich Ervye. Grateful Tyumen", a dedication added by the city. The monument stands in front of the Glavtyumengeologiya building, which Ervye headed in the 1960s and 1970s, and it is unveiled each year on 14 April, the eve of his birthday.

The monument is easily accessible on foot and located near public transport stops and major street intersections. Visitors can see it at any time of day, as it sits in the open public space without restricted access or specific visiting hours.

The rough-hewn boulder beside the figure was brought to the Glavtyumengeologiya building on Yuri Ervye's own instruction; the plaque on it reads "To Yuri Georgievich Ervye, grateful Tyumen". The black granite pedestal stands for oil, the stone for the drilled Tyumen subsoil.
