Sculptor – Oleg Konstantinovich Komov, architects – Nina Ivanovna Komova and Valery Alexeyevich Frolov. The bronze 3,5-meter sculpture is installed on a granite-covered pedestal with a height of 0,7 m. The monument perfectly fits into the landscape of the Yaroslavich waterfront. On the site of this composition, called “White Nights”, the city authorities originally planned to install a monument to ME Saltykov-Shchedrin, however, having familiarized himself with the composition of the sculptor O. Komov, they decided to establish it.
