The Russian/Polish poet Osip Mandelstam was given permission to settle in Voronezh in 1937 after previously being exiled to the Perm Territory. It was in Voronezh that he created the Voronezh Notebooks cycle of poems. Mandelstam remained in Voronezh only until 1938 when he was arrested again and sent to the Gulag in the Russian Far-East, dying there in the same year. This monument was unveiled in 2008 in Orlyonok Park and depicts the poet standing on the ground with his hand on his chest.
