A bronze equestrian statue of General Joseph Vladimirovich Gourko, a Russian general, stands prominently in the city of Pleven, Bulgaria. The statue depicts Gourko in military attire, mounted on a horse with its front left leg raised, as if in motion. The horse is saddled, and Gourko is holding the reins. The monument is set against a backdrop of a partly cloudy blue sky and lush green trees. The base of the statue is ornate and weathered, suggesting it is an older monument. The statue is a significant landmark, commemorating the pivotal role of Russian forces, led by Gourko, in the Siege of Pleven during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878.
