Monument to Leonid Utesov is one of the most popular monuments of Odessa. It was installed in 2000 on the day of the celebration of the city anniversary (the tradition of opening monuments to the City Day is maintained throughout the decade). The famous pop singer was a native of the city and his sincere admirer. The author of the sculpture A. Tokarev presented it to the viewer, who was sitting on beloved Deribasovskaya, slowly watching the habitual exercise of the Odessites.

Originally, the composition of the monument suggested, in addition to Utesov on the bench, also a music box with the artist's songs, but the mechanism was broken and disassembled by the vandals. In recent years, from the composition of the booth was removed, there was only a reminder of the plate.

The works of this same sculpture overflow the modern Odessa. Unusual installations of different celebrities can be seen in any part of the historic city. An example is a monument to the pilot Utochkin, installed in 2001.
