Alexander Nevsky was a medieval Russian prince who was born in Pereslavl' Zalessky and baptized in the Cathedral of Transfiguration of the Saviour situated nearby some time in 1221. According to the chronicles, he defeated Russian enemies twice - first the Swedes in a battle near the Neva river where St Peterburg is situated today (it happened in 1240) and then Teutonic knights by the Chudskoye lake aka lake Peipus, near contemporary Russian-Estonian border (in 1242). Allegedly in memory of the first victory he was nicknamed Nevsky - though more probably he got this "title" because he owned lands in that region. Anyhow, he was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Chirch in 1547 and since then his cult as the country's protector has only thrived, whether it was a tsardom, an empire or the Soviet Union. The monument was erected in 1958, i.e. under the communist rule, and represents a rare exception among mammoth Soviet structures depicting national heroes on stallions with huge balls and holding gargantuan spears or swords. A nice decoration of the town's Red square - yes, Pereslavl' Zalessky also has its Red square (which in old Russian also means a Beautiful square).
