For general information In 1991, an unusual monument to Peter the Great by sculptor M.M. was erected in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Shemyakin. The monument caused a mixed reaction from the public. The emperor is depicted sitting in a hard bronze chair with his hands on the armrests. The pedestal under the figure is small, it only defines the area occupied by the sculpture, and is not high. For a public monument erected in memory of a significant person, this is unusual. Tradition requires a pedestal that elevates the hero above the viewer. What Shemyakin did, according to critics, smacks of familiarity, completely inappropriate. The first thing that catches the eye and before which all other reproaches fade is the round, smoothly shaven head of the king. Shemyakin explained that his sculpture was not a ceremonial portrait of the emperor. In a moment of short rest, Peter sat down, removing his wig from his shaved head.
