In the city of Omsk, on November 12, 2001, a monument to Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, the outstanding Russian writer, was unveiled. The monument is located at the intersection of Spartakovskaya and Partizanskaya streets, in the historical part of the city. This location was chosen for a reason: here, between the Tarskie Gates of the Omsk fortress and the building that now houses the Dostoevsky Literary Museum, the writer often passed by.

The monument was created by architect Albert Karimov and sculptor Sergey Golovantsev, who worked on it for a long time. Dostoevsky is depicted overcoming a gust of wind, immersed in his thoughts, which emphasizes his strong character.

In his hand, the writer holds the Gospel, the only work he was allowed to read in the penal servitude. It was there that Dostoevsky rethought his life values and turned to God.

The height of the sculpture, including the pedestal, is five meters. Initially, it was made of concrete, but in 2007 it was replaced with bronze.
