Yo-monument in Ulyanovsk, Memorial stone dedicated to the Cyrillic letter Ё in Ulyanovsk, Russia
The granite monument stands 2.05 meters tall near the Lenin Regional Scientific Library, featuring an engraved letter Ё weighing over three tons.
The monument was initiated in 2001 to commemorate 205 years of the letter's use, with artist Alexander Zinin completing the final version in November 2005.
The structure honors the distinct sound represented by letter Ё in Russian language, often replaced by E in printed texts despite different pronunciation.
Visitors can reach the monument on Novy Venets Boulevard, where the wheelchair-accessible site provides opportunities for educational tours and photography.
The monument replicates the exact typographic design of letter Ё from its first printed appearance in the word 'slyozy' in the 1797 Aonidy almanac.
