Monument to Leonid Utesov

The monument to Leonid Utesov is located on Deribasovskaya - one of the most famous Odessa streets. It was created by the famous sculptor Alexander Tokarev at the expense of local residents. The monument to the famous Odessa performer and actor was solemnly opened on September 2, 2000 to the day of the celebration of the 206th anniversary of Odessa. The singer is pictured sitting quietly on a bench in front of us, possibly resting after another concert. Next to the monument is a phone, stylized in antiquity, with which anyone can order a song performed by the great Leonid Utesov. It can be heard by all tourists in the area of the monument.

Leonid Osipovich Utesov was a native Odessa. He traveled a lot around the world, but he always talked about his hometown and was looking forward to coming back. The famous artist has played in many films and performed about 300 good songs, which are still admired. A sign of gratitude to the artist for the greatest contribution to the culture of Odessa is a monument that will forever immortalize it in the hearts of local residents.
