Mikhailov Column

Mikhailovskaya Column is situated on the bank of Izhevsk Pond near the Russian Drama Theatre. Its design was developed by architects of the Izhevsk Plant under the leadership of I.T. Kokovikhin. After restoration, its height is 19 meters. The angel figure, created by sculptor Pavel Medvedev, has been reduced in size and turned to another side. The column narrows from 1.6 m diameter at the bottom to 1.3 m at the top. All its elements are secured with anchor connections. Previously, there stood a metal grille made of copies and cannon barrels around the column.
