The Monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, is a significant historical and cultural landmark. It commemorates the efforts of Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, who led the Russian volunteer army to liberate Moscow from Polish occupation during the Time of Troubles in the early 17th century. The monument is a replica of the original statue located in Moscow's Red Square, created by the sculptor Ivan Martos in 1818.
