Utesov monument, Odesa by Pixelated Realities3D Model
The next time you find yourself in Odessa, take a leisurely stroll to the City Garden which is located on Deribasovskaya Street. You will find Leonid Utesov sitting quietly and peacefully on a bench, looking out over the gardens and the hundreds of visitors that mill around.
He doesn’t mind if you sit next to him to have your picture taken next to him or just to chat. Unfortunately, the legendary musician does not perform anymore but, while you sit next him on that park bench, you will be able to choose any of Utesov’s songs to listen to in the phone booth near the monument. The love, admiration and devotion to this wonderful musician is evident in the short but powerful inscription at the monument: “To Leonid Utesov – from grateful Odessa”. The monument was erected in memory of Utyosov in the year 2000 and is a wonderful dedication to his inspiring talent and gentle nature. Indeed, he was a true musician who left his beloved country with a song in their hearts and pride in their souls.
