View of the monument to the Russian writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809-1852

View of the monument to the Russian writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809-1852) in Moscow, Russia. It was erected in 1909 on Prechistensky Boulevard, but its style proved to be controversial because of its rather negative body language, and in the 1950s it was moved to Nikitsky Boulevard, and installed outside the house where Gogol lived. On the pedestal can be seen a bas relief of characters from Gogols stories. Date: circa 1909
