Monument to Igor Talkov

The bronze monument of Igor Talkov installed in the town of Shchekino became the first Russian full-length monument to this musician. The memorial was solemnly opened on July 15, 2017 in the park of the city Palace of Culture.

The bronze monument of 4.5 meters standing on a marble pedestal was created by sculptor Vladimir Kazantsev. He noted that this is the first Russian monument to Talkov in full-length. In addition to singer's figure standing in a characteristic stage costume with a bare chest and a massive cross on it the composition contains a chair, a guitar and a huge sheet of paper with a recognizable quote that looks like it was punched with a knife: “I do not dare to predict, but I know for sure that I will return.”
