Borisoglebsky also has a bust of Prince Dmitri Pozharsky who led the Second People's Army with Kuzma Minin, which was successful in liberating Moscow from Polish interventionists in 1612. Prince Pozharsky is considered a national hero, but he also has a special connection with Borisoglebsky as he stopped here on route to Moscow to have Irinarchus the Hermit bless the campaign and to pray at the Borisoglebsky Monastery. The monument is by sculptor Mikhail Pereyaslavets and was unveiled in 2005.
