The right-bank of the River Malaya Kokshaga is known as the Resurrection Embankment which then becomes the Amsterdam Embankment in the south.  These embankments also have several monuments.  In the north, outside the Resurrection Cathedral, is a statue of Tsar Feodor, which is said to be the only statue of the son of Ivan the Terrible in the world.  Yoshkar-Ola is said to have been founded in 1584 during the reign of Feodor, meaning that unlike the other statues here there is some link with the city. Previously it stood inside the Tsarevokokshaisk Kremlin.  

Further down is a statue of Lorenzo de' Medici, the ruler of the Florentine Republic known as the Magnificent.  It stands on the part of the boulevard known as Italian Park. On the corner of Resurrection Embankment is a modern replica of the Swallow's Nest Chateau, the original of which stand on a cliff edge in Crimea.  

Another statue with an actual connection to Yoshkar-Ola is the one of Aleksandr von Keller who was an officer during the Napoleonic War and a police chief for Tsarevokokshaisk in 1830.  He is credited with contributing to the development of the city and Mari El in general. 

Standing behind a fountain is a statue of Pushkin which locals and tourists like to pose with for photos.  Unlike most standard statues of Pushkin (and there is one in the city), Pushkin here is depicted talking to his famous character of Eugene Onegin.

Just after Pushkin the embankment becomes known as Amsterdam Embankment and in keeping with the Dutch theme there is a statue of the artist Rembrandt.  Finally at the end of Amsterdam Naberezhnaya, there is a statue of Russian-Ukrainian writer Gogol who has no connection with Amsterdam but is standing close to the beginning of Ulitsa Gogolya (Gogol Street).
