The Pushkin Monument stands at the heart of Pushkin Square, a bustling hub where Tverskoy Boulevard meets the Garden Ring. The bronze statue depicts Alexander Pushkin in a contemplative pose, with his head slightly bowed and one hand resting on his chest. The pedestal is inscribed with lines from his poem 'I Have Built Myself a Monument.' The square itself is a lively pedestrian zone, surrounded by historic buildings, cafes, and theaters. Visitors often leave flowers at the base, and the monument serves as a backdrop for street performers, political rallies, and casual gatherings. In winter, the nearby square hosts a popular ice skating rink.

- Read the inscribed poem verses on the pedestal
