The
monument
to
Griboedov
on
Chistoprudny
Boulevard
(Moscow)
is
a
tribute
to
the
grateful
memory
of
descendants
to
an
outstanding
compatriot.
Alexander
Sergeevich
Griboedov
is
a
Russian
diplomat,
poet
and
playwright,
pianist
and
composer,
nobleman,
state
councilor.
Author
of
the
famous
play
"Woe
from
Wit".
The
monument
to
Griboyedov
on
Chistoprudny
Boulevard
in
Moscow
was
solemnly
opened
in
1959,
on
the
130th
anniversary
of
the
tragic
death
of
the
outstanding
figure.
It
is
known
that
Alexander
Sergeevich
Griboedov
died
tragically
at
the
age
of
34.
He
was
a
bright
and
multifaceted
personality:
a
brilliant
writer,
a
talented
pianist,
and
a
skilled
diplomat.
In
the
memoirs
of
contemporaries
Griboyedov
A.S.
–
a
highly
educated
and
erudite
person,
pleasant
to
talk
to
and
incredibly
talented.
We
know
Alexander
Sergeevich
as
an
outstanding
writer.
However,
in
fact,
literature
for
Griboedov
has
always
been
just
a
hobby.
His
main
occupation
was
public
service.
This
amazing
man
was
killed
by
religious
fanatics
by
an
absurd
accident
during
the
destruction
of
the
Russian
embassy
in
Persia
(now
Iran).
Despite
the
fact
that
the
life
path
of
Griboyedov
A.S.
was
short
enough,
he
managed
to
leave
a
noticeable
mark
both
in
the
field
of
literary
creativity
and
in
the
history
of
the
Russian
state.
In
addition
to
his
intelligence,
Griboyedov
had
an
aristocratic
appearance,
was
elegant
and
stately.
His
wife,
Nina
Chavchavadze,
wore
a
mourning
robe
until
the
end
of
her
days
in
memory
of
him.
The
monument
to
Griboedov
was
erected
at
the
beginning
of
Chistoprudny
Boulevard,
not
far
from
the
exit
of
the
metro
station
of
the
same
name.
The
location
of
the
monument
in
the
city
of
Griboyedov’s
childhood
was
not
chosen
by
chance.
Alexander
Sergeevich
and
his
family
lived
for
some
time
a
few
minutes
walk
from
this
place
-
in
house
number
42
on
Myasnitskaya
Street.
The
monument
was
completed
by
sculptor
Apollo
Aleksandrovich
Manuilov
and
architect
Alexander
Alekseevich
Zavarzin.
