General information about Mykola Hohol Monument (Nizhyn)

The world's first monument to the outstanding writer Mykola Hohol was erected in Nizhyn in 1881.

It was here that the future writer received his education, graduating in 1828 from Prince Bezborodko's Gymnasium of Higher Sciences.

The author of the monument was the famous sculptor Parmen Zabila, who himself was from Nizhyn. It is believed that the sculptor immortalized his profile in the folds of Hohol's cloak on the section of the bust, leaving his autograph in this unusual way.

Перший у світі пам'ятник видатному письменнику Миколі Гоголю встановлено у Ніжині в 1881 році.

Саме тут майбутній письменник здобув освіту, закінчивши у 1828 році Гімназію вищих наук князя Безбородька.

Автором пам'ятника став знаменитий скульптор Пармен Забіла, який сам був з Ніжина. Вважається, що свій профіль скульптор увічнив у складках Гоголівого плаща на зрізі бюста, залишивши таким незвичайним чином свій автограф.
