The monument designed by the sculptor V. V. Lishev and the architect V. I. Yakovlev was set up in 1947. The statue of the great Russian Revolutionary Democrat is executed in the realistic style and is an integral part of the Moskovsky Victory Park. The monument, as it were, extends the perspective of the central alley of the park and at the same time stands out well against the background of the new and splendid hotel Russia.
