Monument to Pushkin in Kuopio

The monument to Pushkin is a small bronze bust of the great poet, installed on the shore of Lake Valkeisenlampi, in the Finnish city of Kuopio. At one time, this monument was a symbol of friendly relations between Finland and the Soviet Union, and today it serves as a simple decoration of the city park.

The monument to Pushkin was inaugurated in the city of Kuopio in 1986. The author of the monument was the famous Soviet sculptor Oleg Komov, and the pedestal was created by architect P. Lampy.

The bust looks very beautiful - the poet is depicted very authentically and recognizably, and the skill of working out the details is striking. The two-meter base of the monument is carved of gray granite.

The monument to Pushkin is located in a very picturesque area - in a coastal park and is surrounded by trees on all sides. And although this monument has long lost its political significance, it still attracts the views of tourists and vacationers, and also pays homage to the work of the great Russian poet.
