Chavain Boulevard runs horizontally across the city, passing the two embankments en route.   The two main landmarks on the boulevard are the reconstructions of the Annunciation and the Saviour Towers of the Moscow Kremlin, which stand on either side of the bridge over the River Malaya Kokshaga which makes up part of Chavain Boulevard.

No boulevard though in Yoshkar-Ola is of course complete without several statues.  On the eastern side of the boulevard there are statues of the Mari composer Ivan Klyuchnikov-Palantai and the Mari author Arkadi Krupnyakov.  On the other side of the River Malaya Kokshaga is a statue of Aleksandr Kotomkin-Savinsky, who was born in the Tsarevokokshaisk District and became a folklorist and poem.  He also participated in the First World War and was a member of the White Movement, spending the rest of his life in exile.  Behind this monument there is a Memorial-Chapel dedicated to the victims of repression.  

Finally there is a statue of the boulevard's namesake the Mari poet Sergey Chavain, who is credited with writing the first literary poem in the Mari language.  Chavain was arrested and executed in Yoshkar-Ola in 1937 by the NKVD; he was posthumously exonerated in 1956.
