Monument to Aleksandr Khanzhonkov

The Monument to Aleksandr Khanzhonkov is a bronze statue that is situated at Budyonnovky Prospect and Krasnoarmeyskaya Street intersection, near Marins Park Hotel, in Rostov-on-Don and commemorates Russian cinematographer Aleksandr Khanzhonkov.

Statue was made by Rostov-on-Don’s sculptor and academician of Russian Academy of Arts Sergey Oleshnya.

Sergey Oleshnya[2] and Yury Yakovlevich Dvornikov[3] were chosen as lead sculptor and creator of the pedestal respectively.

Two plaques will be placed in locations frequented by Khanzhonkov – on the building where the director spent his school days and where he watched a film for the first time.

The statue was unveiled during International Motivational Film Festival Bridge of Arts and attended by several television presenters and actors.
