Theatre Square

The theater square was formed during the post-war restoration of the city center on the site of the northern parts of the Red and Fish Rows and residential buildings and shops located between them. June 6, 1972 on the square erected a monument to Pushkin A.S. Authors of the monument: sculptor E.F. Belashova, architect E.A. Rosenblanc, with the participation of V.A. Frolov and S.A. Semenova. The monument to Pushkin is a sculptural portrait of the poet with a hand raised to his temple (it was originally supposed to be installed in Leningrad on a black river, on the site of a duel - hence the dramatic-high interpretation of the image).
