On Red Square in the center of the Kremlin there is a monument to a native of Tobolsk, an outstanding cartographer, historian, artist, architect and chronicler Semyon Ulyanovich Remezov (1642-after 1720), who forever left his mark on the history of Tobolsk and Siberia. The author of the monument, opened in the summer of 1993, is the Moscow sculptor Oleg Komov.

“S. U. Remezov from the grateful Tobolyaks” reads the inscription on the pedestal in recognition and respect for the brilliant countryman, the author of the first atlases of Siberia, the architect of the Gostiny Dvor and the conservatory, which have survived to this day and adorn the Tobolsk Kremlin.
