Standing at the front of the small triangular-shaped park of Skver Devichievo Polya (Devichye Pole Gardens) is a statue of Lev Tolstoy. The monument was unveiled in 1972 and depicts the great author carved into large blocks of stone sat down cross-legged. Tolstoy is forever connected with the Khamovniki district of Moscow as he lived nearby in his city estate from 1882 and 1901.
