One of the sources has a nice description of the figure and its manufacture:

The most important puppet is "Doo-Doo" who was Fokin's and the crowd's favorite ("Wooden Horse" puppet theater (by Igor Fokin) - Symphony of Strings., 00:4:00-00:4:17). The memorial made is of "Doo-Doo". The puppet was created after a famous Russian story about a flute player who travels the world. In his act “Doo-Doo” plays his nose, which amuses the audience. The sculptor of the memorial Konstantin Simun, who is also from St. Petersburg, describes the process of making the sculpture in an interview as “It was important to make that chunk of bronze come to life, with personality.”.

The sculpture mold was made first from plasticine clay and then bronze metal was poured into the mold to create the final product."Doo-Doo" is captured as pretending his nose is an instrument. It is located in the middle of the square.

You might incorporate a similar description about where it comes from and what it is like, especially if there's no photo available. – SJ + 04:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Thinking about this again, as the statue shows up in so many photo-sets and collections of local works, but never gets its own entry because the official name isn't well known. It should definitely have an article and photo category to resolve this and serve as a schelling point for freely-licensed media. – SJ + 02:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
