Description:
A bronze monument to Alexei Lebedev, a naval officer and poet, was erected in Suzdal in 2008. The monument depicts a strong Russian sailor in a veal with a small book in his hands. His eyes are both stern and sublime.
With the installation of the monument, the Suzdal people paid tribute to the memory of their famous countryman who served in the navy, chanted in poems the sea and heroically died with his colleagues while performing a combat mission.
