Урам һепереүсегә һәйкәл, Bronze monument in Oktyabrya Avenue, Ufa, Russia

The Monument to the Street Cleaner is a life-sized bronze figure standing on Oktyabrya Avenue in Ufa, in front of the MIR shopping and household centre. The man wears a jacket, trousers and a cap, grips a long-handled shovel with both hands, and rests its blade on the patterned paving blocks.

Sculptor Khalit Galiullin made the bronze figure in Zhukovsky over two months; it weighs 300 kg and was installed in front of the Mir shopping and household centre on 12 November 2007, then unveiled on 16 November. In 2011 it placed fifth in the Seven Wonders of Ufa's Sovetsky District contest.

The figure is a collective image, not a portrait: sculptor Khalit Galiullin said he had worked as a street cleaner himself while a student, so he knew the job firsthand. The statue was cast in bronze in Zhukovsky over two months and weighs 300 kg. In 2011 it placed fifth in the "Seven Wonders of Ufa's Sovetsky District" contest.

The statue stands on the paved forecourt in front of the entrance to the TsTiR "MIR" centre on Oktyabrya Avenue, in Ufa's Sovetsky district. It is at ground level, at human height, so visitors can walk right up to it and see the shovel blade resting on the patterned paving blocks.

Sculptor Khalit Galiullin worked as a street cleaner during his student years, and he said the figure is a composite image rather than a portrait of a particular cleaner. The 300 kg bronze was cast in Zhukovsky over two months. In 2011 the monument placed fifth in the "Seven Wonders of Ufa's Sovetsky District" contest.
