A bronze Equestrian statue of Marshall Georgy Zhukov standing guard in front of the State History Museum on Manege Square in Moscow. It was established in May 8, 1995 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War.
A closer look of the horse and rider.
And here's a different perspective of the statue at night. I find it truly majestic and striking.
