Nikolai Leskov Monument

Nikolai Leskov Monument (April 2010)

The famous Russian author Nikolai Leskov was born in 1831 in the village of Gorokhovo in what was then the Oryol Governorate. This monument to him was unveiled in 1981 in the small park outside Archangel Michael's Cathedral. It depicts the author sat on a bench and an additional lovely touch is that he is surrounded by smaller statues of characters from five of his most-loved stories.
