The monument was designed by the renowned sculptor Ivan Martos and was unveiled in 1818, marking the 200th anniversary of the liberation of Moscow. The bronze statue depicts Minin, the fervent patriot and organizer of the volunteer army, gesturing towards the Kremlin, symbolizing the call to arms and the defense of the motherland. Beside him stands Pozharsky, the military leader who played a crucial role in the successful expulsion of the Polish forces, holding a sword and a shield, representing readiness and protection.
The pedestal of the monument is adorned with intricate bas-reliefs that illustrate scenes from the struggle against the Polish invaders, further emphasizing the heroism and sacrifice of the Russian people during this tumultuous period. The inscriptions on the monument pay tribute to the valor and leadership of Minin and Pozharsky, ensuring that their legacy is remembered by future generations.
