Description
The monument to Valerian Vladimirovich Kuibyshev in Samara is an important symbol of the city's history, embodying his revolutionary activity and contribution to the struggle for the people's happiness. Erected in 1938, this monument is a striking expression of respect for Valerian Vladimirovich Kuibyshev's personality and achievements.
The monument depicts Valerian Vladimirovich in full height, standing 7 meters tall, mounted on a granite pedestal towering 5 meters high. He is portrayed wearing a coat and boots, holding a forage cap in his hand, symbolizing his military and revolutionary activities.
The installation of the monument in 1938 was accompanied by a solemn parade of troops on the square named after Valerian Vladimirovich Kuibyshev. In 1960, the monument was placed under state protection and received the status of a monument of republican significance.
The sculptor of the monument was Matvey Manizer, and the architect was Noy Trotsky. Despite the sculptor's dissatisfaction with the low pedestal on which the monument was installed, it remains one of the main symbols of Samara and an outstanding feature of the city's landscape.
Located next to the building of the Samara Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, the monument attracts attention and serves as an important element of the city's architecture and cultural heritage.
