A marble bust to the great poet A.S. Pushkin. The authors of the monument are sculptors I. Yastrebov and Yu. Shorokhov, architects L. Rasstrygin and S. Tkachenko. The street got its name Pushkin in the year of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Sergeevich. Prior to this, the street had a different name – the Policeman. Pushkin visited our city twice:
in May 1820 on the way to Yekaterinoslav.
in August 1824 on the road from southern exile to Mikhailovskoye.
He stayed at the house of the parents of his friend from the Lyceum A. Delvig. Delvig, after graduation, spent the summer in the Dnieper city, spoke warmly about him and in letters invited Pushkin to stay with him. The people of Kremenchuk remember and honor the great poet. His memory is immortalized in the name of the most beautiful street in the city.
The monument to Pushkin on the boulevard was opened on December 28, 1985.
