The Sfinksy statue you are referring to is likely located at the Quay with Sphinxes in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This quay is situated at the Universitetskaya Embankment, in front of the Imperial Academy of Arts. The Sphinxes are remarkable statues that decorate the embankment of the Neva River.

These Sphinxes are not just decorative elements, but they also carry symbolic meanings. In ancient Egypt, the sphinx was considered a stone statue of a lying lion with the head of a person, embodying the power of the pharaoh.

The Sphinxes at the Quay with Sphinxes in Saint Petersburg are believed to have been carved in 1455-1419 BC, as a gift from the former Egyptian king to the Tsar.

It’s worth noting that there are several monuments of sphinxes in Saint Petersburg, each with its own interesting history.
