The Monument Faleev is a stunning tribute to Mikhail Faleev, the founder of the city of Nikolaev. This monument commemorates Faleev's exploration of the area in 1788 and his decision to establish a shipyard at the merging point of two rivers. The city grew rapidly as a result, eventually being named Nikolaev in 1789. Faleev's influence extended beyond the shipyard, as he also directed the transformation of the Bug estuary into a deep channel. The monument itself is a bronze statue of Faleev holding a scroll, earning it the nickname "Citizen with a cigarette" among the locals. An identical gypsum statue of Faleev can be found in the City Council building. The monument offers a great view of the river and is surrounded by cafes and amenities, making it a wonderful place to visit. Additionally, there is a belief among local witches that the cloak on the Faleev monument and the veil on a nearby bride sculpture represent Faleev's reluctance to settle down. Overall, the Monument Faleev is an impressive and significant landmark in Nikolaev.

Monument to a talented person, the founder of the city of Nikolaev. In 1788, he examined these places - the deep channel of the Ingul, the high banks.

And in 1790. the 44-gun frigate "Saint Nicholas" was launched from the stock of the shipyard. At the direction of Mikhail Faleev, the former delta was filled up, turning the mouth of the Bug estuary into a deep channel. This is how the ship side was created. Now archival photographs and the Museum of Shipbuilding and Navy remind of the past.

Few people know, but there are two identical monuments to Faleev in the city. Bronze Faleyev stands on the boulevard, and, for the scroll in his hand, received the nickname "Citizen with a cigarette" among the people. And a similar gypsum F.. Read more »aleev stands in the hall of the third floor of the City Council and is a full-size model from which a bronze statue was cast. Another "feature" of the monument is the identity of the cloak on the Faleev monument and the veil on the bride's sculpture near the city registry office. Because of this identity, local witches believe that a lonely bride under the registry office is not waiting for anyone, namely Faleev. But it looks like he has other plans and he quickly moves away from the lonely girl ?.
