The first-ever monument to Nobel Prize winning Russian poet and writer Boris Pasternak has been unveiled in Russia.

The monument has been installed in the city of Perm where the renowned artist spent several months back in 1916. It is believed that the most easterly city in Europe situated on the border between Europe and Asia served as a prototype of Yuryatin, the fictitious town which Pasternak made up in his famous novel “Doctor Zhivago”.

Moscow authorities are planning to place a monument to Boris Pasternak in 2010.
