In the small garden outside St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square stands the monument to Kozma Minin and Dmitri Pozharsky, the heroes of the national struggle for liberation against the Swedish and Polish invaders in 1610-1612. The statue was designed by the famous sculptor, Ivan Martos, and erected in 1818 as the city's first monumental sculpture.
