This monument you can find on the territory of Shevchenko Park.
In 1896 at that place appeared monument to the Tsar Nikolay I (sculptor M. Chizhov). Years after the tsar gave his place to Shevcenko. That is a kind of history irony, because Nikolay I severely persecuted Taras Shevcenko. The monument appeared in the park in 1939 (sculptor M.Manizer, architect E.Levinson).
