      • The Paustovsky monument was unveiled on 24 August 2012; the sculptor Vadim Tserkovnikov portrayed the writer with his dog Grozny, working from old photographs.
      • Not far away on the Oka bank stands the monument to Marina Tsvetaeva by Vladimir Soskiev and Boris Messerer, unveiled on 8 October 2006.
