Dear Subhash,

It contains a list of photographs featuring several writers, actors  
and various characters, including Ostap Bender, Ellochka  
Liudoedka,Dama s sobachkoj, etc.
Here is the site that contains a monument to Ostap Bender in Elista:

You could see more monuments here, including various monuments related  
to Russian animated films and cartoons (krokodil Gena, "Nu, pogodi",

Quoting Subhash.Jaireth at GA.GOV.AU:

> Hi,

> In Moscow, in the house where Mikhail Bulgakov lived, there is a

> characters. Similarly in Yalta there is a sculptural composition  
> called Lady with a lapdog (dedicated to the two characters of  
> Chekhov's well-know story). I working on a book about such things in  
> which not the author but fictional characters become part of the  
> city space. I'll be grateful if someone can lead me to similar  
> stories. The characters need not be from fictional narratives only.  
> I would love to know if characters from a novel/film/play/tv serial  
> have found a monument dedicated to them.
