Note
The competition entry selected for cast iron replication at the Kasli Foundry in the late 1950s - early 1960s. The figurine was intended for popularization of great Russian literary figures and for export as a prominent example of the Soviet arts and crafts production, which is why the item is branded with an inscription “Сделано в СССР” (Made in the USSR). The competition pattern for the monument with the same name in Moscow (installed in 1880). Reduction by K. V. Bitkin (1919-1981) of the 1960s - early 1970s.
