Moscow's Peter the Great monument definitely stands out at 322 feet of stainless steel, bronze, and copper and is housed less than a mile from the famous Kremlin wall. The monument, created by sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, depicts the Russian czar at the wheel of a ship with a document in his hands.
There is a wonderful in gigantic tribute to Peter the great in the Moscow River. As you walk across the bridge to Gorky Park, you can see the monument and it is magnificent.
