This is located in a pedestrianised area and if you pick the right moment, you can have this monument exclusively to yourself. I revisited the monument a number of times during my stay in Tver and didn't have to wait long for this to happen. It might be a good idea to gen up on this singer before you visit to really appreciate the monument. He is still fondly remembered today with single flowers strewn across his arms and this looks particularly effective when taking photos as the monument itself is dark in colour.

If you are familiar with Krug, then it makes sense to visit the monument. We saw it in passing and then only learned about him

Breaking our journey between Moscow and St. Petersberg in this quietly impressive city by the Volga, I could not believe my eyes when I came across a metal bench on which sat a bronze sculpture of a male holding a large balalaika (I assume), his rounded hat resting on the bench to his right. I had seen two days earlier exactly the same work on the East side-walk of Tverskaya St in Moscow, and nobody could tell me anything about it. It turns out that it was dedicated to a nationally popular folk singer who in 2002 was shot to death in his home at Tver. I did a little research and discovered that a 4-part TV series on his life is planned, or has already been produced. It is a small world, even in a country as large as Russia. I regard this little work as a masterpiece of urban art that catches the eye and the interest immediately.

There are so many places in Tver which are worth to visit apart of this monument.
Of course it depends on your taste and preferences .. if you like Russian chanson and lyrics about prison then you may visit this monument.
Otherwise you may have a walk along Radischeva and see the buildings of 19 century (where Pushkin was)

...to one of the most famous residents of Tver - Mikhail Krug. From his songs one can fully study the toponymy of Tver. It has hardly changed from the time of the Circle to the present.

It is very good that there are monuments to artists, but it is very bad that there are no monuments to engineers, scientists, builders and restorers and other useful and knowledgeable citizens...

Romanticizing criminal life is bad!
Such a bad monument...
Horrified:
1) They put him in the city center on Radishchev Boulevard!!!
2) Still sitting(()))
3) In the ranking of the city’s attractions it is in FIRST place!!! (Monument to Mikhail Tverskoy at 13 m, I’m generally silent about Saltykov-Shchedrin)
4) Some people specially come to an amazingly beautiful city with ancient history to look at this monument
And judging by the number of positive reviews, they LIKE it!!!
I just want to quote the classic “...oh times, oh morals!”((((

According to my musical preferences, I have always been far from chanson, and the name of Mikhail Krug was just a well-known name, nothing more. An acquaintance once advised me to watch the TV series “Legends of the Circle.” And his songs began to sound for me... Having learned that a monument to Mikhail Krug had been erected in Tver, I really wanted to see it. You could even say that visiting the monument was the main reason for choosing the city for the trip.
The monument was erected on Radishchev Boulevard in 2007. The author of the project is V.B. Tsyganov, sculptor - A. Smirnov. As I understand it, it was made with all the violations of the rules of sculptural art)) But I liked it. A bronze chansonnier sits on a bench in a coat, leaning on a guitar. His hat lies nearby. There were fresh flowers on it... 🌷 Have you seen many monuments to which flowers are regularly brought? Me not! It was nice to see such interest. There is also a place to sit on the bench and take a memorable photo. There is a whole line to this place...)) The visit left a pleasant impression.

Now at the intersection of Trekhsvyatskaya Street and Radishchev Boulevard (practically, this is where the monument is located) a very active road repair is underway. Dusty, dirty, difficult to walk in places. But people actually go to the monument and many take pictures. There are souvenir stalls nearby.
