A monument to the outstanding Soviet writer Mikhail Alexandrovich Sholokhov was unveiled in one of the main squares of Alexandria in Egypt. The monument was created by the famous Egyptian sculptor Osama El-Serui and donated to the city from the Consulate General and the Russian House in Alexandria.
