The idea to install a monument to Pushkin in Burgas emerged among the city authorities in the 1940s. Although the poet never visited Bulgaria, his works were translated into Bulgarian and were popular among local readers. Furthermore, Pushkin's name is associated with significant historical events in the country: his son, General Alexander Alexandrovich, commanded the 13th Narva Hussar Regiment from 1870 to 1880, which liberated Burgas from Ottoman rule as part of Lermontov's 'Flying Detachment.'

The monument was created by the renowned Bulgarian sculptor Petko Zadgorski and architect Avramov. They made several dozen models from clay and plasticine and sketched on paper, depicting the poet in various poses. The monument project was presented in the early 1950s and unanimously approved by the public, city leadership, and creative intelligentsia.

It took about two years to create and cast the Pushkin monument in Burgas, and by the end of February 1952, the sculpture became part of one of the picturesque alleys of the Sea Park. Over time, the area around the monument was beautified: flowers were planted and benches were installed.

The monument, 2.2 meters tall, is set on a cylindrical granite pedestal, which bears the years of the poet's life, his surname, and initials. The monument is made of bronze, emphasizing its fundamental nature, as this is how the authors perceive Pushkin's poetry.
