Towards the end of Ulitsa Kazanskaya is a four-metre bronze monument of Dmitri Stakheev. Dmitri Stakheev was a writer and a prominent member of Yelabuga's successful Stakheev merchant dynasty. The monument was unveiled in 2003 outside the grand building of the Yelabuga State Pedagogical University, which itself was originally founded as the Women's Eparchial College by another member of the Stakheev dynasty.
