Actually, Dzerzhinsky was thin and broad-shouldered, it is impossible to call him. And here we see a bust of an almost epic Russian hero in a greatcoat. The intelligent face is very similar to the portrait of Anton Chekhov. In 1947, on the 70th anniversary of the famous Chekist, this monument was erected near the State Security Committee of Belarus, the authors of which were sculptor Z. I. Azgur and architect V. M. Volchek. The impressive bust of Felix Edmundovich is made of bronze. It stands on a strict granite pedestal. A complex figure in Soviet and Belarusian history.
