Monument to the Nikitin Brothers

The Monument to the Nikitin Brothers is a sculptural group dedicated to the founders of the Saratov Circus, installed in a square next to the historic circus building near Kirov Square. The monument, opened on December 25, 2020, upon the completion of the circus reconstruction, returns the names of Akim, Dmitry, and Pyotr Nikitin to the urban space. The composition is connected to the history of circus entrepreneurship in Saratov, as the Nikitin brothers are considered the founders of the Russian national circus.
