M.
Zjvanetsky Monument
Unveiled on April 1st, 1998
Sculpted by V.I. Traskov
This is a sculpture of a famous comedian.
The facade reads:
"You are an Odessite,
Misha…"
This is a line from a famous Odessa song. But
it is also a play on words, the context of the
inscription also means wherever you live Misha,
you will always be an Odessite.
