The monument to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin in Novorossiysk was unveiled on September 12, 1999, in honor of the 200th anniversary of the poet's birth. It was created by sculptor I.A. Suvorov and architect I.A. Krikun. Unlike many other monuments that emphasize the tragedy of Pushkin's life, the authors of this project chose to showcase his greatness and creative power, capturing the poet in the moment of creating his immortal works.
Interestingly, over time, art historians noticed an unusual detail in the appearance of the monument: on Pushkin's trousers, there are arrows that only appeared decades after his death. However, this detail does not diminish the beauty of the monument, which consistently attracts attention and gratitude towards its creators.
The monument is located in the center of Novorossiysk, on a park alley on Sovetov Street. The location is well-chosen: it is a cozy spot for walks and relaxation, with benches and flowers, and a fountain installed in front of the monument. On both sides of the bronze sculpture, 20 meters away, there are cafes that are popular among tourists and locals, drawn here year-round.
The Pushkin monument is the central figure of this place. The great poet of Russia is depicted thoughtfully sitting on a garden bench, with an open book in one hand and a quill in the other, as if ready to create a new masterpiece. The bronze sculpture is made with high quality and realism, making it one of the best in Russia dedicated to Pushkin. The city's residents take pride in this monument, and the city administration regularly maintains the square, as seen in the photographs.
