The high relief was installed in 2022 on a residential building on one of Svetlogorsk's quiet green streets, named after the great Russian writer. The work was created by artist and monumental sculptor Nikolay Pavlovich Frolov.
The idea of creating a high relief of Maxim Gorky arose in the mid-2010s. Work on the plaster model took about a year; it weighed approximately 200 kg.
In the winter of 2020, the plaster model of the high relief was sent to Smolensk, where the bronze version was cast.
