You can take a picture with the monument, but don't hug it, hang it, or anything else... The Interior Ministry building is located opposite and they will come to you right away. The sculptor Alexander Dranets. It was installed on March 2, 2017. The creation of the sculpture is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Belarusian militia. The image was created based on an old photograph of a policeman from the archives, the sculptor recreated medals, shoulder straps and the number on the badge of a uniform cap. A policeman stands by an old lantern, and there is a dog nearby. An interesting fact: since former soldiers were recruited as policemen, they had different shoulder straps, which is reflected on the sculpture. On one shoulder is the army shoulder strap with which he retired, and on the other is the policeman who was given to him.

The genre of urban sculpture in Minsk is not being actively developed as in some Russian cities. So this Policeman appeared to me somewhat unexpectedly. In fact, this is not even a sculpture, but an index of the Museum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs))). The arrow on the lamppost, which is part of the composition, points to the museum. The sculpture was opened in 2017. On the centenary of the Belarusian militia. On March 4, 1917, detachments of military squads led by the revolutionary Frunze disarmed the former police, seized the city police headquarters, and took government offices, the post office, and the telegraph office under their protection. It was on this day that the Belarusian militia was formed. The sculptor Alexander Dranets portrayed a strong, thin, middle-aged, experienced soldier at work. On duty. He seems to be watching over the preservation of order right now.
