These pictures came with a recent purchase and I was wondering if anyone would happen to know where in Russia this is ?

There is also some cyrillic writing on one side :

The Cyrillic writing says "T.G. Shevchenko". Shevchenko (1814-1861) was a revolutionary democrat and ardent fighter against Tsarism and serfdom. The monument and its surrounding park area apparently still exists today. Many German soldiers took photos of this statue because it was finally something different from the countless statues of Stalin and Lenin.

All the best,
