Identity Confusion
I love the plaque at the bottom of this monument. Russia's current identity isn't very clear but despite sometimes feeling more Soviet than European, this note tells us that part of history is over:
Built in 1829
Destroyed in 1931
Rebuilt in 2005
I'm not sure what the monument is for, but I guess it wasn't popular during the Communist era.

It was some kind of tsarist monument. So yeah, not too popular with the Commies.
