Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky

Vladimir Vysotsky is a creative person, without whom it is impossible to imagine Russian culture. But it is not only in Russia that the memory of him is somehow perpetuated. Monuments and plaques dedicated to Vladimir Semenovich are in almost every city where he managed to visit. The capital of Montenegro, Podgorica, was no exception. Here in October 2004, on the banks of the Moraca River, a monument to Vysotsky, the great Russian poet, was solemnly unveiled.

The author of the monument is Russian sculptor Alexander Taratynov. He captured Vysotsky with a guitar on a small pedestal, where the words of Vysotsky’s poem dedicated to Montenegro are carved in two languages. Vladimir Semenovich visited here on tour and filming and captured his warmest impressions of the country in poetic lines. His bronze figure is surrounded by a kind of frame. The monument is located near two bridges, which in their own way complement the figure of the poet.
