Памятник дворнику, Bronze statue at Lenin Avenue in Balashikha, Russia
This bronze sculpture depicts a street sweeper in pre-revolutionary attire with cap and apron, leaning on a broom while a stray dog stands beside him. The monument sits on a granite base along Lenin Avenue in the city center.
The sculpture was created in 2007 by sculptor Igor Chernoglazov from Vladimir. It was built during a period when the city sought to commemorate ordinary workers and their contributions.
The monument honors workers who keep cities clean and functional, people often taken for granted in everyday life. Their role in maintaining public spaces is recognized here as worthy of remembrance and respect.
The sculpture stands in a public square directly accessible from Lenin Avenue, making it easy for pedestrians to visit and explore. The site is open and accessible for viewing and photography at any time.
The granite pedestal features an inscription in pre-revolutionary Russian orthography, making it a rare document of language from that era. This detail links the modern sculpture to an earlier period and preserves that historical linguistic tradition.
