Памятники Москвы начинают свою историю с начала 19 века. До этого времени не было принято устанавливать памятники конкретным лицам. В память о значительных событиях или выдающихся деятелях прошлого были построены храмы или были возведены кресты. Слово %%%% памятник %%%% - это русская версия латиницы %%%% museumum %%%% (%%%% moneo %%%% означает %%%%, чтобы напомнить %%%%). Но в русских традициях также используется слово %%%% памятник %%%%, которое чаще используется для обозначения большого памятника, установленного в честь значимого события.

Первый памятник в Москве стал вторым во всей России (после петербургского Медного всадника). Это был памятник легендарным московским освободителям Минину и Пожарскому, установленный в 1818 году на Красной площади. Автором идеи скульптурной композиции был И. Мартос. Памятник Минину и Пожарскому планировалось установить в Москве в 1812 году, но начало войны с наполеоновской Францией помешало осуществлению его планов. Подобно польским захватчикам в далеком прошлом, французы не смогли удержать Москву, и когда памятник древнерусским солдатам наконец занял свое место на главной площади Москвы, он символизировал власть православной Руси, способность противостоять любым противник.

Пожалуй, самым обильным по облику памятников в Москве стал 1909 год. В то время в Москве были открыты памятники Гоголю, первопечатнику Ивану Федорову, Льву Толстому и некоторым другим. Последний памятник, который был установлен в Москве до революции 1917 года, является обелиском к 300-летию династии Романовых.

1. Рабочий и колхозница в Москве

Впервые мир увидел работы скульптора на Международной выставке в Париже в 1937 году. Огромная, мощная и в то же время необычайно легкая скульптура была построена на павильоне Советского Союза по проекту архитектора Б.М. Иофан. Юноша и девушка держат высоко над головами символы труда - серп и молот. Ткань юбки и шарфа развевается на ветру алым знаменем - героя советских парадов и демонстраций.

Вся композиция тогда была изготовлена ​​из нового материала - хромоникелевой стали. Части скульптуры были выбиты по деревянным лекалам, а затем сварены и закреплены на мощном каркасе из балок. Это было новое слово в скульптуре. За воплощение скульптуры в новом материале ответил инженер ЦНИИ машиностроения П.И. Львов. И он отлично справился со своей задачей.

На выставке в Париже скульптура Мухиной имела огромный успех. Фотографии статуи напечатали все ведущие газеты, ее копии тиражировали на различных выставочных сувенирах.

После парижской выставки скульптуру перевезли обратно в Москву. Поначалу не собирались восстанавливать его дома, но в 1939 году он занял свое место перед Южным входом на Выставку достижений народного хозяйства. Долгие годы скульптура стояла на невысоком постаменте, который Мухина назвала %%%% пень %%%%. Только в 2009 году, после нескольких лет реставрации, скульптуру вернули на площадь. Сегодня% ldquo; Рабочий и колхозница% rdquo; стоит на здании уступом вверх.

2. Памятник покорителям космоса в Москве

Памятник был открыт 4 ноября 1964 года - в седьмую годовщину успешного запуска советского искусственного спутника Земли, вошедшего в историю как первый шаг в освоении человеком космического пространства. Памятник представляет собой ракету, взлетающую в небо и оставляющую после себя серебряный шлейф, облицованный полированными титановыми пластинами. На всю высоту памятник представляет собой уникальную конструкцию с высотой 100 м под углом наклона 77 градусов; его вес 250 тонн. Расположение памятника таково, что его видно с любой точки ВДНХ.

Плюм с ракетой установлен на стилобате, облицованном полированным гранитом. По бокам - многофигурные бронзовые горельефы, на которых изображены советские люди всех профессий, участвовавшие в многолетней истории освоения космоса. Также на стилобате воспроизводятся тексты сообщений ТАСС о важнейших этапах освоения Вселенной.

На фасаде стилобата вырублены стихотворные строки Н. Грибачева: %%%% И наши старания были вознаграждены // что за вымогательство беспредел и тьма, // мы выковали пылающие крылья // своим страна и наш век! %%%% И далее -% ldquo; В ознаменование выдающихся достижений советского народа в освоении космоса установлен этот памятник% rdquo ;. Памятник основоположнику космонавтики К.Э. Перед памятником установлен Циолковский, завершающий Аллею космонавтов.

3. Памятник Минину и Пожарскому в Москве

Предложение о создании памятника руководителям Второго ополчения, освободившим Москву в 1612 году от польского вторжения, было внесено в начале XIX века Вольным обществом любителей литературы, науки и искусства. Памятник изначально предполагалось установить не в Москве, а в Нижнем Новгороде - на родине ополченцев. Макет памятника по собственной инициативе в 1804 году изготовил скульптор Иван Петрович Мартос - один из самых известных скульпторов России. В 1811 году первоначальное решение было изменено: от установки памятника в Нижнем Новгороде отказались в пользу Москвы, главной площадки Второго ополчения. А после окончания Отечественной войны 1812 года памятник Минину и Пожарскому приобрел новое значение: как символ победы над захватчиками и изгнания их из Москвы.

Памятник создан после сбора пожертвований, в котором принимала участие буквально вся страна: царская семья, дворяне, купцы, торговцы. Торжественное открытие памятника состоялось на Красной площади 20 февраля 1818 года в присутствии императора Александра I и при огромном скоплении народа.

В первые годы после революции существовала угроза разрушения памятника; были предложения по его переплавке. В результате в 1931 году памятник героям Второго ополчения %%%% перенесен %%%% из центра Красной площади в собор Василия Блаженного, где он находится сегодня. В 2010% ndash; 2011 была проведена комплексная реставрация памятника, позволившая его укрепить и предотвратить разрушение.

5. Триумфальная арка в Москве

Триумфальная арка - памятник героям Отечественной войны 1812 года. Расположена на Кутузовском проспекте и вместе с Кутузовской избой и музеем-панорамой Бородинской битвы образует единый мемориальный комплекс на площади Победы в районе Поклонной горы.

Первая каменная Триумфальная арка по проекту архитектора О. И. Бове была открыта в сентябре 1834 г. на Тверской заставе. Арка простояла 102 года, но в 1936 году ее разобрали при перепланировке площади Белорусского вокзала. Разобранная арка пролежала в запасниках музея архитектуры около 20 лет. В 1966 году его восстановили в первозданном виде и разместили на Кутузовском проспекте. В 2012 году была проведена масштабная реконструкция памятника, и теперь Триумфальная арка встречает москвичей и гостей города во всей красе.

Пилоны арки из белого камня дополняют шесть пар чугунных колонн высотой 12 метров. Между колоннами размещены скульптуры воинов в старинных доспехах. Выше горельефы, на которых изображены сцены победы русских воинов над врагами, и статуи богинь Победы. Венчает композицию колесница, запряженная шестью конями. Арка гармонично вписывается в городской пейзаж и в то же время эффектно выделяется на фоне окружающих построек.

6. Памятник маршалу Жукову в Москве

Памятник маршалу СССР Георгию Жукову был создан к юбилейной дате - 50-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Автор композиции - Вячеслав Михайлович Клыков, скульптор, народный художник, заслуженный деятель искусств России. Скульптура находится на Манежной площади, рядом с Историческим музеем.

Георгий Константинович Жуков был известным советским полководцем, Маршалом Советского Союза. Четырехкратный Герой Советского Союза, обладатель двух орденов %%%% Победы %%%% и ряда других советских и зарубежных наград.

Маршал Жуков изображен сидящим на коне, копытами которого попирают знамена поверженного врага. Общий вес памятника составляет 100 тонн, скульптура отлита из бронзы, а постамент - из гранита. Правая рука маршала слегка приподнята, будто в следующий момент он будет чествовать героев патриотов XVII века.

Несмотря на критику, в том числе скульпторов Зураба Церетели и Александра Рукавишникова, по мнению большинства историков, Вячеслав Клыков сумел передать не только свою внешность, но и образ и характер великого полководца, принесшего Победу своей Родине.

Первоначально планировалось установить памятник на Красной площади напротив Храма Василия Блаженного и памятника Минину и Пожарскому. Однако установить памятник Жукову на Красной площади не удалось, так как в 1990 году Московский Кремль и Красная площадь были внесены в Список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО, правила которого запрещают изменение архитектурного облика охраняемых мест. .

7. Памятник Юрию Долгорукому в Москве

Год основания Москвы - 1147 (первое упоминание города в летописях), а ее основателем был суздальский князь Юрий Долгорукий. Памятник князю был установлен во времена правления Никиты Хрущева, но с наибольшим почтением к личности князя и его заслуги в Москве стали относиться только с приездом мэра Юрия Лужкова, на котором прошли торжества в честь Основание российской столицы стало ежегодным.

Впервые идея о необходимости установки памятника Юрию Долгорукому возникла в конце 40-х годов. Накануне празднования 800-летия основания Москвы в 1946 году был проведен конкурс, на котором лучшим был признан проект скульптора Сергея Орлова, также получившего Сталинскую премию. Первый камень в фундамент будущего монумента был заложен в день празднования 800-летия, однако памятник был возведен в 1954 году. Работы по созданию памятника затянулись по нескольким причинам: из-за творческих разногласий у автора. rsquo; разочарование группы s, авторов с властями и недостаточным финансированием (в конце концов, памятник князю был зданием более низкого приоритета, чем, например,% ldquo; Сталин% rsquo; небоскребы% rdquo ;, которое также началось в конец 40-х - начало 50-х годов).

Никто не знал, как выглядел князь Юрий Долгорукий, поэтому на Тверской площади на коне восседает эпический русский рыцарь в княжеских одеждах. Принц% rsquo; казалось, что правая рука s указывает место, где будет основана новая крепость. И конская сбруя, и княжеские доспехи выполнены в деталях. Верхняя часть каменного постамента украшена орнаментом, в котором прослеживаются славянские и византийские мотивы.

8. Памятник А.С. Пушкин в Москве

Памятник А.С. Пушкина воздвигнут в Москве на Пушкинской площади в 1880 году ко дню рождения поэта. Скульптура Пушкина выглядит очень естественно: правая рука кладется на край пиджака, левая отводится небрежным жестом, он держит шляпу. Слегка выдвинутая вперед левая нога создает иллюзию медленного движения, поэт вот-вот спустится с пьедестала к нам. Его голова наклонена; его грустные живые глаза смотрят на нас с незапамятных времен. Постоянное впечатление, что Пушкин в творческом мышлении: на лбу появляются морщинки, лицо совершенно отвлеченное - мысли о чем-то своем.

Невозможно представить памятник Пушкину без окружающей его площади. По обе стороны от монумента установлены изящные чугунные фонари того времени. Это дает весь колорит 19 века. Вокруг памятника, как лавровый венок, вокруг головы поэта, цепочка в виде лавровых листьев, прикрепленная к бронзовым большим пальцам. Со всех сторон территория окружена деревьями, кустами - все это создает особый мир, особую атмосферу, в которой до сих пор живет наш Пушкин.

Проходят времена, приходят новые поколения на смену старым, а Пушкина вспоминают как нечто очень близкое, сокровенное. В его честь воздвигнуто множество известных памятников, каждый из которых уникален, о каждом можно рассказать и рассказать. Но все же лучший из памятников - это тот, который никто не может разрушить. Этот памятник живет в его стихах, произведениях, в наших сердцах.

9. Памятник Юрию Гагарину в Москве

Специально к Московской олимпиаде 1980 года был установлен памятник Ю.А. Гагарину работы П.И. Бондаренко. Фигурка имеет высоту 42,5 метра и вес 12 тонн и изготовлена ​​из титана, который использовался при строительстве космических кораблей. Ребристый постамент имитирует столб пламени, вырывающийся из сопла отправляющегося в полет космического корабля. У подножия монумента находится копия спускаемого аппарата корабля %%%% Восток %%%%, на котором 12 апреля 1961 года Гагарин совершил первый полет в космос в истории человечества.

Памятник установлен именно на Ленинском проспекте, потому что Гагарин въехал в город из аэропорта Внуково по этой дороге после своего первого полета в космос. Кроме того, площадь Гагарина - одна из самых больших в Москве, и по задумке архитектора устремленный вверх памятник должен быть виден даже с МКАД.

Скульптура Гагарина стала первым в мире титановым памятником больших размеров. Он состоит из 238 литых сегментов, соединенных болтами с помощью сварки. Самым сложным было сделать лицо космонавта - самый крупный цельный сегмент.

Площадь Гагарина получила свое название в 1968 году. Здесь 14 апреля 1961 года москвичи встретили первого космонавта мира. С площади Гагарина открывается вид на два необычных здания, образующих главный вход в город, с 14-этажными башнями, украшенными скульптурами, и колоннадой.

10. % nbsp; Памятник князю Владимиру в Москве

4 ноября 2016 года в Москве состоялась торжественная церемония открытия памятника святому равноапостольному князю Владимиру.

Памятник в полном смысле слова можно назвать популярным; он был создан на средства Российского военно-исторического общества и частных пожертвований. Собрано более 100 миллионов рублей.

Памятник Владимиру установлен на Боровицком холме, его высота вместе с постаментом составляет 17,5 метра. Скульптура изготовлена ​​из бронзы, постамент - из гранита, авторы проекта - художник Салават Щербаков и скульптор Игорь Воскресенский.

Следует отметить, что изначально общественность и эксперты опасались, что фигура князя Владимира станет похожей на Петра Великого в исполнении Церетели на Крымской набережной. Не исключено, что именно из-за этих сомнений ранее запланированная высота в 24 метра была существенно снижена.

По мнению большинства историков и простых граждан, памятник Владимиру удался. Создавая его, авторы не хотели, чтобы памятник напоминал икону, и поэтому созданный ими бронзовый князь был не только святым, но и воином и политиком. Это спокойный и сильный, отважный и уверенный в себе правитель и воин.

Три барельефа рассказывают нам о жизни и подвигах князя. Это настоящие скульптурные картины. Первый из них прославляет князя Владимира как правителя и строителя городов русских. На втором барельефе мы видим крещение Владимира, а на третьем - крещение Руси.

Георгий Франгулян решил перенести арбатский двор в пространство переулка, чтобы не ограничиваться одной фигурой, а создать целый комплекс или квадрат, двор со столом и скамейками, из которых выходит поэт. Запечатлеть то, что было близко по духу Булату Окуджаве, о чем он писал в своих стихах и песнях, называя себя %%%% эмигрантом с Арбата. %%%% В то же время это памятник самой арбатской культуры, ее интеллигенции, и разрушенные дворы Арбата.

Поэт изображен 40-летним, полным сил:% ldquo; Он в лучшей форме. Он уже Булат, и он силен и впереди еще много,% rdquo; - сказал Георгий Франгулян на открытии памятника. На арке позади Булата Окуджавы, словно дворовое граффити, слова из его стихов.

Вся композиция поднята на небольшую ступеньку, вымощен невысокий постамент, с двухметровой фигуры поэта падает длинная тень, Окуджава словно выходит на свет. Общее пространство памятника включает участки газонов и даже деревья; отсутствие забора делает его неотделимым от улицы.

На постаменте были размещены постамент, корабль, фигура императора, а также мачта и паруса с подвижными тросами из металлических тросов.

Каркас конструкции очень прочный, так как полностью состоит из нержавеющей стали. Облицовка сделана из бронзы и установлена ​​на стальном каркасе. Каждая бронзовая часть памятника тщательно обрабатывается специальными средствами и покрывается лаком для защиты поверхности скульптуры от неблагоприятных погодных явлений.

Памятник замечательному актеру Евгению Леонову, к сожалению, стал объектом внимания злоумышленников. В октябре 2015 года памятник был украден со своего места на Мосфильмовской улице, а затем обнаружен распиленным на части на пункте приема лома цветных металлов. Преступники были найдены, но Московская Аллея Звезд потеряла одну из своих, пожалуй, лучших достопримечательностей.

Актер театра и кино Евгений Леонов известен многими своими работами - среди них - роли в масштабном фильме о жизни рабочей молодежи% ldquo; Big Change% rdquo ;, образ несчастного тренера в фильме Полосатый полет, и даже голос Винни-Пуха в мультфильме Федора Хитрука. Однако для создания памятника скульптор Екатерина Чернышова выбрала не менее яркий образ - роль доцента из комедии% ldquo; Джентльмены удачи% rdquo ;, снятой по сценарию Георгия Данелии и Виктории Токаревой. / p>

Бронзовый адъюнкт-профессор повторил знаменитый жест Леонова со сцены в тюремной камере, где доброму и нежному директору детского сада нужно было предстать перед местным% ldquo; public% rdquo; как безжалостный преступник% ldquo; авторитет% rdquo ;. Памятник установлен в 2001 году, через тридцать лет после съемок фильма и его выхода на экраны.

10 сентября 2016 года на том же месте состоялось открытие нового памятника. Второй памятник является точной копией предыдущего, воспроизведен с сохранившегося скульптором гипсового оригинала. Новый памятник получил незначительные улучшения, у героя появилось более доброжелательное лицо и исправлена ​​улыбка.

По сюжету этой сказки одна утка вместе со своими утятами жила на берегу водохранилища в Бостоне. Но однажды пруд и их гнездо разделяла скоростная трасса. Полицейский Майкл приходил на помощь птицам и останавливал движение каждый раз, когда утка приводила своих детенышей к пруду.

Точно такой же памятник с 1978 года украшает один из парков города Бостон. В начале 90-х Михаил Горбачев с женой прибыли в США с дружеским визитом. Прогуливаясь по парку Бостона, паре государственных деятелей понравился памятник% ldquo; Утята% rdquo; очень. А через несколько лет супруга американского президента Барбара Буш привезла в Москву в подарок точную копию бостонского памятника, который решили установить в парке Новодевичьи пруды.

Итак, памятник из детской% # 39; сказки% ldquo; Дайте дорогу утятам!% Rdquo; стал своеобразным символом примирения и дружбы двух крупнейших государств.

22. % nbsp; Памятник Грибоедову в Москве

Памятник поэту и драматургу Александру Сергеевичу Грибоедову появился в Москве в год 130-летия его трагической гибели в Персии. 30 января 1829 года тысячи восставших персов убили всех, кто находился в посольстве. Тело Грибоедова было настолько изуродовано, что его можно было опознать только по следу на его левой руке, полученному во время дуэли с Якубовичем в 1818 году.

Памятник установлен на Чистопрудном бульваре, хотя дом, в котором родился Александр Сергеевич, на самом деле скорее реплика, чем оригинал (реставрация 1970-х годов, пожар, уничтоживший верхний этаж, относится к тому же времени) находится на Новинском бульваре. Экономист Б.Л. Маркус напомнил:% ldquo; Где-то в середине тридцатых годов на бульваре напротив Дома Грибоедова был установлен огромный гранитный валун. Мне, мальчик, тогда он казался очень большим. Неотёсанные, шершавые, с широким основанием и сужающимся кверху. На лицевой стороне этого валуна, чуть выше среднего, по краям была неровная полоса, в которую глубоко врезанными буквами был начертан автограф Грибоедова. И ничего больше. Не похоже на памятник, но я уже слышал, что на этом месте кладут камень, потому что именно здесь со временем будет построен настоящий памятник с фигурой самого Грибоедова. % rdquo; Однако впоследствии памятник, как известно, на Новинском бульваре вообще не поставили.

Памятник на бульваре представляет собой фигуру Грибоедова, установленную на постаменте-колонне, так что образ драматурга выглядит очень величественно и парадно. Внизу пьедестала авторы поместили героев не просто самой известной пьесы писателя% ldquo; Горе от ума% rdquo ;, но и той, по которой Грибоедова часто называют писателем одной книги% rdquo ;. Петр Чаадаев писал о спектакле, что ни один народ не подвергался такому бичеванию; никогда ни одна страна не таскалась в грязи, как та, никогда не бросала столько жестоких оскорблений в лицо% rsquo публики, и, однако, никогда не достигала более полного успеха.

23. % nbsp; Памятник братьям Лихудам в Москве

В 2007 году 31 мая в Москве в Богоявленском переулке перед алтарем Богоявленского монастыря был установлен бронзовый монумент в честь братьев Иоанникова и Софрония.

Братья Лихуд родом с греческого острова Кефалония, потомки византийской княжеской семьи королевской крови. Они были православными монахами, окончили Падуанский университет, где получили докторские степени. Братья Иоанникий и Софроний - первые преподаватели Славяно-греко-латинской академии - первого официально утвержденного высшего учебного заведения в Российском государстве.

Лихуды прибыли в Москву 6 марта 1685 года и в том же году начали преподавать в Богоявленском монастыре, где под их руководством первоначально обучались 6 учеников. В 1687 году братская школа была передана Славяно-греко-латинской академии. Первоначально в академии обучались 30 человек, позже их количество увеличилось и к Рождеству 1687 г. их было 76 человек, а к Пасхе 1688 г. - 64 человека. Риторика, диалектика, логика, физика преподавались на греческом и славянском языках; Грамматика и поэтика - только на греческом. Также преподавали типографику. В Академии учились многие выдающиеся деятели России: М.В. Ломоносов, Л.Ф. Магнитский, В.К. Тредиаковский, Д.Н. Бантыш-Каменский, Д.И. Виноградов и другие.

В 1694 г. лихудам запретили преподавать в академии из-за обвинения в ереси и выселили в Московскую типографию. С 1697 года братья по велению Петра I начали преподавать итальянский язык. В 1698 году снова по ложному обвинению в распространении католицизма их перевели в Новоспасский монастырь, а в 1704 году - в Костромской Ипатьевский монастырь. После долгих лет скитаний братья приступают к благоустройству в Новгороде славяно-греко-латинской школы, количество учеников в которой достигло 153 человек.

Братья Лихуд внесли огромный вклад в дело духовного просвещения России. Их деятельность сильно повлияла на развитие образования, поскольку они составляли учебники по грамматике, поэзии, риторике, логике, физике, теологии, писали литературные произведения, переводы и проповеднические произведения, редактировали и исправляли славянский текст Ветхого Завета. Иоанников и Софроний Лихуды стали учителями многих первых русских ученых, которые в будущем стали руководителями и профессорами академии, таких как: Федор Поликарпов, Николай Семенов, Алексей Барсов, монахи - Косма, Богослов, Иов, Палладий Рогов, доктор Постников. , а позже Федор Максимов.

В 1912 году трубач кавалерийского полка Василий Агапкин написал музыку марша% ldquo; Прощание Славянки% rdquo ;, а спустя сто лет этому произведению поставили памятник, установленный недалеко от Белорусского вокзала.

Памятник был открыт накануне празднования Дня Победы в мае 2014 года. Инициатива по его созданию принадлежала Российскому военно-историческому обществу и ОАО «РЖД». Двухметровый бронзовый памятник выполнен по проекту скульпторов Сергея Щербакова и Вячеслава Молокостова, архитектора Василия Данилова и народного художника РФ Салавата Щербакова.

Основой скульптурной композиции послужил каркас проводов добровольцев к фронту из известного фильма% ldquo; Летят журавли% rdquo; Режиссер Михаил Калатозов. Место возле Белорусского вокзала было выбрано по той причине, что сюда во время Великой Отечественной войны уходили поезда в направлении фронта. Кстати, памятник% ldquo; Прощание Славянки% rdquo; Это не единственная достопримечательность, связанная с Великой Отечественной войной, на Белорусском вокзале. Также здесь можно увидеть портрет маршала Победы Георгия Жукова и мемориальную доску в честь первого исполнения песни% ldquo; Holy War% rdquo; в июне 1941 года.

Однако в памятнике% ldquo; Прощание Славянки% rdquo; есть память не только о Великой Отечественной войне, но и о Первой мировой войне. В состав входит щит с датой %%%% 1914 %%%%, фрагменты оружия времен Первой мировой войны. Бронзовый солдат, с которым прощается девушка, тоже одет в форму образца 1914 года.

Константин Станиславский (1863-1938) и Владимир Немирович Данченко (1858-1943) были русскими и советскими театральными режиссерами и педагогами, театральными реформаторами. Сам будучи актером, Станиславский разработал знаменитую актерскую систему (%%%% Станиславскую систему %%%%), которая уже более 100 лет пользуется большой популярностью в России и за рубежом. Немирович-Данченко прославился как талантливый драматург и писатель. Сформулировав новаторскую театральную программу, Станиславский и Немирович-Данченко совместно основали МХАТ.

В скульптурную композицию вошли бронзовые фигуры режиссеров, одетых в аутентичную одежду начала ХХ века. Статуи демонстрируют портретное сходство с оригиналом; бронзовая рука Станиславского лежит на стилизованном под старину алтаре, на обратной стороне которого находятся театральные маски и написано начало монолога Нины Заречной, переведенное на латинский язык: %%%% Люди, львы, орлы и куропатки , рогатый олень, гуси, пауки, молчаливая рыба ... %%%% от Антона% # 39; s play Chekhov% # 39; s %%%% Чайка %%%%.

Он был учрежден в 2007 году в Москве возле посольства Великобритании в честь 120-летия выхода в свет первого романа о лондонском сыщике Артура Конан Дойля.

Пять советских фильмов режиссера Игоря Масленникова о Шерлоке Холмсе, снятых в 1979-1986 годах, заслужили любовь и признание не только в России, но и в самой Англии. В 2006 году королева Великобритании Елизавета II приказала присвоить Василию Ливанову звание кавалера Ордена Британской империи %%%% самого авторитетного Холмса в мировом кинематографе. %%%%

Памятников Шерлоку Холмсу много - в Швейцарии, Японии, Шотландии и, конечно же, на Бейкер-стрит в Лондоне. Мемориальные доски отмечены знаковыми местами, связанными с Ватсоном, например, в Афганистане, где вымышленный герой был ранен в руку. Таблички висят в баре Criterion на Пикадилли, в химической лаборатории больницы Св. Варфоломея, где персонажи впервые встретились, недалеко от Швейцарского водопада в Райхенбахе.

В России знаменитая пара персонажей Конан Дойля всегда была олицетворением безупречного, образцового английского стиля. Их основные черты - яркий ум, элегантный юмор, самоирония, аристократизм, неподкупность, идеальный стиль - превратились в эталонный образ британского джентльмена. Исторически сложилось так, что российско-британская дружба лучше всего складывалась именно благодаря взаимному культурному интересу, а памятник Ватсону и Холмсу в посольстве Великобритании в Москве является символом диалога между двумя странами.

С памятником Хо Ши Мину было много неприятностей. Во-первых, точная дата неизвестна, одни настаивают, что в 1985 году, другие - в 1990 году. Следующая проблема заключается в том, что Хо Ши Мин упоминает в каждом из своих завещаний, что он не хочет, чтобы кто-либо когда-либо воздвигал памятник. ему. Но советское правительство относилось к этому иначе, мол, раз у них есть памятник Ленину, значит, у нас должен быть памятник их вождю.

Памятник Хо Ши Мину - это поднимающийся с колен вьетнамец перед изображением Хо Ши Мина. В народе его называют памятником летающей тарелке.

So, at the end of the First World War, he was the representative of Norway to the USA, in 1920%ndash;1922, the High Commissioner of the League of Nations for the repatriation of prisoners of war from Russia. In 1921, on the instructions of the International Red Cross, he created the Committee %%%%Help for Nansen%%%% to rescue the starving Volga region.

38. %nbsp;Monument to I. A. Krylov in Moscow

The picturesque place Patriarshie Ponds is notable for its beautiful architecture; there are many monuments and sculptural compositions. A monument to the fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov is erected in the square on Malaya Bronnaya Street.

The creators of the monument are the sculptors A.A. Drevin, D.Y. Mitlyansky and architect A.G. Chaltykyan. An unusual ensemble appeared in the square on September 17, 1976. On a low but wide pedestal there is a bench with a memorial inscription, on which a fabulist sits. The external similarity of the figure of the poet is striking; the authors of the pedestal were able to accurately convey its image. A little confused by the appearance of Krylov, many contemporaries say that he gave little value to clothes, he was more interested in inner harmony.

Along the avenue, there are compositions of four opened books, on the pages of which there are images of the characters of his fables, 12 especially popular characters. This and the Pug with an elephant, frivolous crow with cheese, musical quartet, wolf with lamb and others.

The monument is surrounded by benches where you can sit down to relax or admire sculptures and views of the pond.

39. %nbsp;Monument to S. Rakhmaninov in Moscow

The sculptural composition dedicated to the greatest composer S. Rakhmaninov appeared in Moscow towards the end of the autumn of 1999. A monument was erected in a beautiful and picturesque place in the middle of Strastnoy Boulevard, opposite one of the historical buildings. By the way, the sculpture was placed here not by chance. After all, Sergey Vasilyevich lived for 12 years (1905-1917) in the house at number 5, where today you can see the corresponding memorial tablet.

Such well-known sculptors as A. Kovalchuk and O. Komov became the creators of this magnificent monument. Also a great help in the development of the sculpture project was provided by the architect Y. Grigoriev.

The result of their teamwork exceeded all expectations. The bronze figure of one of the most talented pianists towers on a pedestal of polished granite slabs. The maestro, dressed in a strict concert costume with a bow tie, proudly sits on a chair. The whole image of Rachmaninoff is as if saturated with some kind of internal tension. In a word, looking at the sculpture, it immediately gives the impression that the musician is present at the premiere of his new work!

Separately, about portrait similarity. It is simply amazing. And how the details are worked out! One glance at the spiritualized face and long, thin fingers is enough to understand what kind of profession the hero of the monument chose for himself.

And the opening of the monument on the eve of Children%#39;s Day is also very symbolic: after all, today Mikhalkov is one of the most famous and popular children%#39;s writers.

41. %nbsp;Monument to Cyril and Methodius in Moscow

The monument to Cyril and Methodius was opened in Ilyinsky Square near Slavyanskaya Square on May 24, 1992, on the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture.

Cyril and Methodius (9th century AD, in the world - Constantine and Michael) - the legendary creators of the Old Slavonic language and alphabet, as well as Christian preachers, canonized and revered as saints. The brothers were born in the city of Solun (Thessaloniki) and, having received a good education, later more than once took part in missionary missions. Having systematized the Slavic language and the alphabet, Cyril and Methodius translated church books from Greek into Slavic and taught the citizens of Moravia and Bulgaria to read, write, and conduct services in it.

The monument depicts two brothers holding a scroll with the Old Slavonic alphabet and the Bible, at the page of which the first line of the Gospel of John is written in Old Slavonic (%%%%In the beginning was the Word ...%%%%); with one free hand, one of them supports a large cross. The appearance of Cyril and Methodius was recreated according to the references in the manuscripts. At the foot of the monument, the Everlasting Lampada is installed.

On the obverse side of the pedestal, the words of gratitude are written in Old Slavonic: %ldquo;To the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles primary teachers Slavic Methodius and Cyril. Grateful Russia%rdquo;.

The inscription became a stumbling block: although the monument is a symbol of Slavic writing, after installing the monument, it counted as many as 5 spelling mistakes (of which 2 were in the word %%%%Russia%%%%), and in the scroll with the alphabet in the hands of one of the brothers, the letter %%%%H%%%%.

42. %nbsp;Monument to the pioneer printer Ivan Fedorov in Moscow

In the spring of 1564 the first book was printed in Moscow. This event was recorded in historical documents, so it is considered to be the beginning of book printing in Russia. The first published printed, not handwritten, book was the Apostle, and the first printer was Deacon Ivan Fedorov. The book was published in the Printing House, which was created in the 50s of the XVI century by decree of Ivan the Terrible. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a monument to Ivan Fedorov was erected next to the building of the former Gosudarev Printing House. During the past century it was transferred twice: in the 30s with the expansion of the Theater Passage and in the 90s with the construction of a shopping complex.

Sculptor Sergey Volnukhin and architect Ivan Mashkov became the authors of the monument to the first printer. Sergey Volnukhin with his project won a big competition, in which other famous architects of Moscow (Ivan Zholtovsky and Nikolai Andreev) and even their foreign colleagues participated. Fundraising for the construction of the monument has been going on for thirty years on the initiative of the Moscow Archaeological Society. And only in 1901, Sergei Volnukhin began to create a bronze statue of Ivan Fedorov. The opening of the monument took place in October 1909.

About how Ivan Fedorov looked, the creators of the monument could only guess, since the images of the first printer were not preserved. Despite the fact that Fedorov was a deacon, he was depicted in the clothing of an artisan. In one hand, the master holds the printed page of the book, while the other holds the typesetting board into which the letters were inserted. The statue is placed on a high pedestal of black polished stone, on one side of which is a printed mark of the master, cast in bronze, and on the other - his motto.

One of the last monuments to the organizer and leader of the October Revolution of 1917, Chairman of the Council of People%#39;s Commissars of the RSFSR, USSR, founder of the Soviet state V.I. Lenin.

It was established on November 5, 1985 in the center of October (now Kaluzhskaya) Square.

On a high cylindrical pedestal of red granite stands a full-length bronze figure of Lenin. The multi-figured sculptural composition below around the pedestal represents active participants and defenders of the revolution. Above all in the center stands a woman against the backdrop of a waving flag - this is the personification of the Revolution itself. She is guarded by a group of armed men: sailors, soldiers, workers, and peasants. Among them there are representatives of various nationalities. The rear of the revolution (ie, behind the granite column) is represented by the figure of a woman with two children. One child in her arms, an older boy standing nearby, he is holding a pile of revolutionary newspapers.

The author of the monument is the sculptor Kerbel, the last of the muralists of the creators of Leniniana. He devoted several decades to this topic. In his own words, he %ldquo;sculpted images, not specific people,%rdquo; which can be fully attributed to this monument.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, most of the monuments of V.I. Lenin, both in Russia and in other countries and former Soviet republics, were dismantled. The monument on Kaluga Square is one of the few surviving; it is an excellent example of Soviet monumental art.

44. %nbsp;Monument to P.I. Tchaikovsky in Moscow

At the moment of inspiration, Tchaikovsky, recording music and conducting himself %mdash; such an image of the great Russian composer was created in the 50s by sculptor Vera Mukhina. This monument is located near the building of the Moscow State Conservatory on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. The Conservatory was founded in the second half of the XIX century; Peter Ilyich was one of its teachers since its foundation. In 1940, this educational institution was named after Tchaikovsky, and in 1954 a monument was erected to it.

It is worth noting that Vera Mukhina before this monument created another sculptural image of the composer. In 1929, she completed a bust for the home-museum of Peter Tchaikovsky, which is located in the city of Klin. Work on the monument to the conservatory continued since 1945, and only the second project submitted by the sculptor was approved. To implement the first option, in which Vera Mukhina wanted to portray Tchaikovsky as the conductor of an invisible orchestra, a large area was required, and a small conservatory yard was identified as the place where the monument was erected.

The figure of Tchaikovsky, sitting in a chair in front of the desk, was cast in bronze; the high pedestal is made of red granite. A bench made of marble and a bronze lattice in the form of a musical staff were installed near the monument, on which fragments of the composer%#39;s immortal works are recorded %mdash; the ballet Swan Lake, the opera Eugene Onegin and others. Also on the lattice you can see openwork forged monograms with Tchaikovsky%#39;s initials, dates of his birth and death, and images of harps.

The monument to the talented engineer Vladimir Grigorievich Shukhov was opened on Sretensky Boulevard in Moscow in December 2008. The monument was created by the architect and sculptor S.А. Shcherbakov. Place for the monument was not chosen by chance. For a long time Shukhov lived in a house located at the intersection of the Boulevard Ring and Myasnitskaya Street, therefore Sretensky and Chistoprudny boulevards were his favorite places for walks and rest.

The massive pedestal of the monument is made in the form of the Shukhov Tower. There are vertical friezes on four sides, on which elements of structures created by Shukhov can be viewed, as well as compositions from books, working tools, and details of technical units.

Three massive bronze benches are installed around the monument; they are now called the %%%%Benches of Science%%%%. Two benches are made in the form of split logs. On top of the logs there are vices, hammers, and other joinery tools. The third bench is an original design of the wheels.

Торжества по случаю открытия памятника прошли в дни празднования 85-летия со дня рождения известного музыканта и дирижера.

Авторы скульптурной композиции - скульптор Александр Иванович Рукавишников в тандеме с архитектором Игорем Николаевичем Вознесенским.

Виолончель, смычок и струнные из бронзы, а также динамизм в образе Ростроповича создают впечатление, что с пьедестала вот-вот заиграет божественная музыка. Рукавишников в одном из интервью заявил, что скульптурная композиция смогла высвободить необузданную энергию музыканта, которая помогла ему успешно реализовать любое свое начинание.

Мстислав Леопольдович был прекрасным виолончелистом и талантливым дирижером. Благодаря своим организаторским качествам, он умело продвигал современную камерную музыку и немало сделал для популяризации нынешних российских композиторов.

В репертуаре музыканта звучала не только классика, но и сочинения, написанные для него такими известными композиторами, как Прокофьев, Шнитке, Бриттейн, Мессиан, Шостакович, Хачатурян, Дютые и другие.

% nbsp; Памятник Ф. Достоевского скульптора С.Д. Меркуров - один из самых первых памятников советской эпохи.

Памятник Ф. Достоевский был установлен в 1918 году. Но идея скульптора С. Меркурова с 1905 года воплощала в себе мысли художника о роли пространства и времени в пластическом искусстве. Скульптор определил памятник Достоевскому как фигуру с двумя осями и одним центром, находящуюся вне статуи. Силуэт писателя меняется при смене ракурса, как у актера пантомимы. В качестве натурщика пригласили А. Вертинского не случайно. Меркуров вспоминал:% ldquo; Он сразу понял мой план, принял правильную позу. А как он держал свои изумительные пластмассовые руки! % rdquo;

Когда Советское правительство в 1918 году приняло постановление о памятниках историческим деятелям, Меркуров предложил специальной комиссии памятник Достоевскому. Первоначально памятник был установлен на Цветном бульваре, затем, в 1936 году, когда здесь проложили трамвайные пути, памятник перенесли на площадь Мариинской больницы, где когда-то работал отец писателя и родился Достоевский. Сейчас в левом крыле этой больницы находится музей-квартира Достоевского.

Во время летних Олимпийских игр 1980 года на площади у пересечения Малахитовой улицы и улицы Бажова располагалась деревянная детская площадка: чудо-избушка, резные ворота, дощатая ладья и довольно большой дракон с перепончатыми крыльями, высокий холм или хижина. на куриных ножках. Именно на этом месте в 1981 году был снят киносюжет 27 номера юмористического журнала «Ералаш». Вскоре деревянный двор стал жертвой вандализма, поэтому долго не простоял.

В 2006 году глава администрации Ростокинского района Петр Поволоцкий высказал идею создания памятника дворнику. Торжественное открытие творения членов Московского союза художников Андрея Асерьянца и Владимира Лепешова под названием% ldquo; Ростокинский дворник% rdquo ;, состоялось в День города на холме на площади у Ростокинского акведука. Там временно установлена ​​скульптурная композиция; все жители могут говорить о желаемом месте его постоянного размещения. Памятник стал довольно популярным в столице, а Москва вошла в число городов, где установлены памятники в честь дворника.

Трехметровый памятник Ростокинскому дворнику полностью сделан из железа: сам дворник и вся его одежда, в том числе фартук и метла, крепко зажатая в его руках, неотъемлемые части этой профессии, сделаны из ржавого железа. , а его глаза, растрепанные кудри и усы - все от разных гаек и болтов.

Его называли %%%% львом русской армии %%%%, а военные заслуги генерала подчеркивали и Кутузов, и Наполеон. При этом Багратион не получил не только военного, но и вообще никакого академического образования, а его успех был, скорее, плодом интуиции и воли, отваги и упорства. Князь вырос в Кизляре (где есть музей Багратиона, а также улица его имени) и в этом же районе начал свою военную службу: рядовым Астраханского пехотного полка.

Премия по литературе, но не была признана существующей тогда государственной властью.

Памятник расположен прямо напротив американского посольства, что весьма символично. Ведь в свое время, когда при советской власти Бродского считали недостойным человеком и устраивали всевозможные проверки и допросы, он уехал в Америку, оставив родителей, друзей и всю свою жизнь в России.

Несмотря на то, что Иосиф Бродский родился и жил в Санкт-Петербурге, памятник установили в Москве. Это настоящий жест признания его достижений в отечественной и мировой литературе; это дань его таланту со стороны государства.

Скульптор Георгий Франгулян стал автором памятника Иосифу Бродскому. Среди его творений - памятник Булату Окуджаве на Старом Арбате, памятник Араму Хачатуряну в Брюсовом переулке, памятник Пушкину в Брюсселе и памятник Борису Ельцину в Екатеринбурге.

В 1941 году площадь Красных ворот, рядом с которой находился дом поэта Михаила Лермонтова., переименована в Лермонтовскую. Примерно тогда же была высказана мысль, что поэту необходимо поставить памятник. Планы увековечения памяти Михаила Юрьевича нарушили начало Великой Отечественной войны и вернулись к реализации этой идеи только спустя много лет после ее окончания. Кстати, после войны дореволюционное здание возле площади Красных ворот было снесено, а на месте дома, где родился Лермонтов, одна из так называемых высоток %%%% сталинских% # 39; s %%%% был построен.

Открытие памятника поэту состоялось только летом 1965 года. Над сооружением памятника работал большой творческий коллектив, в который входили несколько архитекторов (Николай Миловидов, Григорий Саевич, Анатолий Моргулис) и скульптор Исаак Бродский. < / p>

Исследователи искусства Лермонтова отмечают, что романтизм был присущ его произведениям, особенно ранней лирике, поскольку мрачный романтик предстает перед читателем своим Печориным - центральной фигурой героя нашего времени. А сам Лермонтов был, скорее всего, романтиком. Возможно, поэтому памятник ему сейчас называют одним из самых романтичных в столице. Бронзовый поэт изображен с задумчивым выражением лица, воротник пальто приподнят, края его одежды развеваются на ветру. На каменном постаменте авторы цитировали строки поэта, в которых он признается в любви к Москве.

Скульптурную композицию площади Лермонтовского дополняют каменная скамья и решетчатая стела с изображениями героев других его произведений - стихов% ldquo; Демон% rdquo; и% ldquo; Мцыри% rdquo ;, стихотворение% ldquo; Парус% rdquo ;. При создании этого памятника авторы использовали приемы, характерные для монументального искусства 60-х годов.

Андреев, архитектор Ф. Шехтель) ко дню рождения писателя в 1909 году, переехавший во двор дома-музея Гоголя на Никитском бульваре.

Известно, что И. Сталину не понравился% ldquo; mournful% rdquo; Гоголя работы скульптора Н.Андреева, архитектора Ф.Шехтеля, мимо которых ему регулярно приходилось проходить.

А 2 марта 1952 года состоялось торжественное открытие нового памятника. Образ писателя предстал в новой интерпретации: полный сил, стоящий на высоком пьедестале, улыбающийся и излучающий оптимизм. Постамент нового монумента был украшен обширной надписью: «Великому русскому художнику, слова Николая Васильевича Гоголя от правительства Советского Союза 2 марта 1952 года».

Сам Н. Томский не оценил это собственное произведение:% ldquo; Из всех монументальных произведений, созданных мною за последние годы, я считаю самым неудачным памятник Н. В. Гоголю в Москве, который я сделал в необычайной для писателя спешке % # 39; годовщина.% Rdquo;

Вскоре после открытия памятника его копия была установлена ​​в вестибюле московской школы № 59 (бывшая Медведниковская гимназия). Воспитанники этой школы стали победителями Всесоюзного конкурса творческих работ, посвященных творчеству Гоголя, за что 9 февраля 1952 года учебному заведению было присвоено имя писателя.

58. % nbsp; Памятник Дмитрию Донскому в Москве

Конный памятник Дмитрию Донскому появился в Москве на пересечении Николо-Ямской и Яузской улиц только в 2013 году. Открытие этого памятника состоялось только в мае 2014 года, а фундамент на месте будущего памятника находится здесь с тех пор. 2003 г. Работы по созданию памятника были приостановлены на несколько лет в связи со смертью главного автора - скульптора Вячеслава Клыкова.

Дмитрий Иванович Донской, князь Московский и Владимирский, известен как собиратель русских земель вокруг Московского княжества. Одной из главных его военных побед была победа в 1380 году на Куликовом поле над войском хана Мамая. Перед тем, как двинуться в эту битву, русское войско и ополчение во главе с князем собрались на этом месте на берегу реки Яузы, где спустя почти семь веков был установлен этот памятник.

Князь изображался в боевом облачении, сидящим на коне. В руке Дмитрий Донской развевает знамя с гербом Великого княжества Московского. Бронзовый князь готов идти в бой, возглавить воинов и победить, что освободит русские земли от татаро-монгольского ига. На постаменте памятника можно увидеть посвящение святому князю Дмитрию Донскому, освободителю земель русских.

Открытие памятника было приурочено к 700-летию со дня рождения преподобного Сергия Радонежского, благословившего князя на битву с ханом Мамаем. Памятник освятили Патриарх Московский и всея Руси Кирилл, в церемонии открытия также приняли участие премьер-министр Дмитрий Медведев и мэр столицы Сергей Собянин.

60. % nbsp; Памятник Ходже Насреддину в Москве

В 2006 году День дурака, традиционно отмечаемый 1 апреля, был отмечен торжественным открытием еще одного необычного памятника - известного философа и поэта Востока Ходжи Насреддина.

Имя Ходжи Насреддина как-то всем знакомо. Славился хитростью, добрым юмором и одновременно глубокой мудростью и борьбой за справедливость. Примечательно также, что Насреддина они считают своим национальным героем на Кавказе, в Средней Азии и на Востоке.

Автор памятника - российский скульптор Андрей Орлов. В скульптурной группе нет ничего лишнего: бронзовый Ходжа Насредди в одной руке держит книгу, а в другой - дело своего верного друга и соратника, осла. Любопытно, что композиция отличается несколько нарушенными пропорциями - ослик крупный. Да и выглядит он, в отличие от самого Насреддина, фигура которого очень реалистична, комично - вылитая ослик из мультфильма% ldquo; Шрек% rdquo ;. Но все эти неточности не только не бросаются в глаза и не портят картину, а наоборот, придают памятнику определенный шарм.

Подойдя ближе, вы обязательно заметите, что седло осла как-то особенно отполировано. Объясняется все очень просто: на обратной стороне спутника Ходжи Насреддина стоит знак, что стоит сфотографироваться, и удача повернется к вам в лицо.

63. %nbsp;Monument to Prince Daniel of Moscow

Among Moscow streets there are several named Danilovskys: there is an alley, a square, a quay, a street, which were named because of its proximity to the Danilov Monastery. The monastery was founded by the Grand Duke Daniel of Moscow, who lived in the XIII century, was the son of Prince Alexander Nevsky and inherited from him a small principality with the small city of Moscow.

The opening of the monument took place in September 1997 and was timed to the celebration of the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow. The ceremony was held with the participation of the mayor of the capital Yury Luzhkov and the patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II.

A ten-meter bronze statue placed on a granite cylindrical pedestal was created by sculptors Alexander Korovin and Vladimir Mokrousov and architect Dmitry Sokolov. Prince Daniel Alexandrovich was depicted by them in full growth, in traditional princely garb. In one hand of the prince there is a sword in the sheath, in the other he holds the temple. Such an image was supposed to convey the merits and basic traits of the prince, thanks to which he entered the history of Russia as a religious, peace-loving ruler who expanded the boundaries of the Moscow principality and founded several monasteries.

In 1998, in front of the monument, the chapel of the Holy Prince Daniel of Moscow, which was demolished in the 20s of the last century, was rebuilt in its former place. In 2013, the ensemble of the square complemented the granite fountain of the cruciform shape, located near the monument.

68. %nbsp;Monument to Mahatma Gandhi in Moscow

The sculptural figure of Mahatma Gandhi, the work of the famous Indian sculptor G. Pal, was presented as a gift to Moscow from the government and the people of India.

The monument was opened on July 8, 1988 at Gandhi Square at the intersection of Lomonosovsky and Michurinsky avenues (the authors of the installation and pedestal project are Moscow architects V.V. Pasenko, I.P. Kruglov and designer V.Ye.Korei).

The sculptural part of the monument is extraordinarily expressive in plastic and figurativeness: a person walking with a wide decisive step with a pilgrim staff, wearing the traditional clothes of a hermit, personifies high spiritual asceticism, selflessness in the search for truth.

The portrait features and the interpretation of the figure are extremely naturalistic. The external dynamics of the composition is complemented and enhanced by the internal movement that permeates the image. It seems that the posture and mimicry of an expressive face, pitted with deep wrinkles, is changing before our eyes.

Such a composition came to the place on the noisy Lomonosovsky Prospect, covered by the multilateral movement of cars and people.

69. %nbsp;Monument to M.V. Lomonosov in Moscow

Young Mikhail Lomonosov went to Moscow in January 1730. After 25 years in the capital, he established Moscow University, which two hundred years later began to wear his last name. Mikhail Lomonosov was, as they would say now, a universal scientist. His interests covered a variety of scientific fields: chemistry, physics, geography, geology, astronomy, philology and history. At the same time, Lomonosov was not a stranger to the visual arts, versification, and also entered Russian history as an outstanding enlightener.

The name of Lomonosov was given to Moscow State University in 1940, when the university marked 185 years since its foundation. The monument to the outstanding scientist was erected in front of the main building of Moscow State University on Knowledge Day - September 1, 1953. The square on which the monument stands is also called Lomonosovskaya.

The authors of this bronze figure of Mikhail Vasilyevich were sculptor Nikolai Tomsky and architect Vladimir Rudnev. They portrayed Lomonosov in an image close to the students %mdash; young, with a pen and paper in their hands, on which the rules of the university he founded are written. A scientist stands on a gray stone pedestal of a round shape with a tablet on which his years of life are stamped.

This monument is considered one of the symbols of Moscow State University, on the steps of its pedestal one can often see seated students. And representatives of the two faculties (chemical and physical), between the buildings of which the monument stands, have long been in dispute over what would find out whose department is located closer to the bronze founding father.

70. %nbsp;Romanovsky Obelisk in the Alexander Garden in Moscow

The Romanovsky obelisk in honor of the 300th anniversary of the reign of the House of Romanov is an amazing memorial erected in the Alexander Garden in 1914. Originally devoted to the Romanov dynasty, in Soviet times it was converted into an obelisk monument to outstanding thinkers and leaders of the struggle for the emancipation of the working people, and in our days it is practically lost when trying to restore the original appearance; Thus, the modern obelisk is an inaccurate copy of the historical.

The tetrahedral obelisk is made of granite and mounted on a massive cubic base. On the face of the cube, a dedication is carved: %%%%In memory of the 300th anniversary of the accession of the Romanov dynasty%%%%, and also depicts George the Victorious and the small emblems of the Russian principalities, provinces and regions in shields: Moscow, Kazan, Polish, Siberian, Astrakhan, Georgian, Khersonotavric, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod and Finnish (some of them are combined). The top of the obelisk is crowned with a gilded two-headed eagle, under which the patrimonial coat of arms of the Romanov boyars is placed %mdash; a griffin with a sword and shield, and below the full height of the monument there are the names of the kings and emperors from the Romanov dynasty from Michael Fedorovich to Nicholas II.

On the obelisk only the name of Ivan VI Antonovich is missed - the baby emperor, who reigned at the age of 1 year, then was overthrown and spent his whole life imprisoned until, at 23, he was killed.

The Le Corbusier Monument is located in front of the Tsentrosoyuz building on Myasnitskaya Street - the only building erected by an architect%rsquo;s project in Moscow. The sculpture was opened on October 15, 2015.

Le Corbusier (1887-1965, real name: Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gri) is a renowned French architect of Swiss origin, one of the pioneers of architectural modernism and functionalism, a bright representative of the international style in architecture and, moreover, an artist. Le Corbusier is called one of the most significant architects of the 20th century: the buildings according to his projects were built in different countries of the world - France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, USA, Brazil, India and others, and their characteristic features became usual methods of modern construction. At the same time, Le Corbusier is called an apologist for a rational approach and a mystic, a public leader and a hermit - despite the contradictory nature of his personality, he created unique buildings, whose eccentricity influenced the development of 20th century architecture and brought the author the glory of an architectural revolutionary.

In the sculpture, the architect is imprinted in his characteristic image: a lanky man in a strict suit and round horn-rimmed glasses, a bow tie on his neck. Sitting on a chair in the most imposing posture that can be conceived for a person in the middle of the sidewalk, the bronze Le Corbusier examines the %ldquo;ideal city%rdquo; project drawn on the granite slab, the idea of ​​which he tried on different cities - including Moscow. Interestingly, the shape of the pedestal also refers to the work of Le Corbusier. It consists of two plates: the lower one lies on the sidewalk - the plan of the %ldquo;ideal city%rdquo; is inscribed on it, while the upper one is made in the form of a remote console, as if hanging in the air. The layout of the plates demonstrates one of the characteristic techniques of the architect, who often used volumes-blocks elevated above the ground.

79. %nbsp;Monument to Andrei Rublev in Moscow

Andrei Rublev, a Russian icon painter and master of monumental painting, was canonized in 1988. Shortly before this event, in 1985, a monument to this great artist was erected at the entrance to the territory of the Museum of Old Russian Art.

Place of installation of the monument was not chosen by chance. In the XIV century, the Spaso-Andronikov monastery was located in the walls of today%#39;s museum, in which the famous icon painter served as a monk, creating wall murals and icons. Here Rublev was buried under the building of the bell tower.

The sculpture is made of bronze and depicts Rublev at work. Currently, the museum stores works belonging to the icon painter, restored by museum staff. Today the collection of the museum is constantly updated with old icons that are collected from all over the country.

80. %nbsp;Monument to Taras Shevchenko in Moscow

The monument to the most famous representative of the Ukrainian nation, Taras Shevchenko, %ldquo;grew up%rdquo; near the Ukraine Hotel in 1964. The construction of the monument was initiated by N.S. Khrushchev, also a Ukrainian by nationality, who at that time led a huge country.

The sculpture has a height of 5.6 meters and is installed on a pedestal made of granite. The poet himself here looks bright, expressive, winged ... The authors of the project managed to give it certain dynamism. At the same time, the sculpture seems to be grown into the ground, which, according to the plan of architects, should personify the connection of the poet with his native land and the common people.

There is one legend that explains why such a large monument to an outstanding Ukrainian cultural figure appeared on the Moscow Embankment. The fact is that in 1963, Nikita Khrushchev learned that the Shevchenko monument was planned to be opened in Washington. After that, the odious leader of the USSR urgently announced a competition for the creation of a similar monument in Moscow. As a result, in the capital of the Soviet Union, a monument to Shevchenko was opened 8 days earlier than in the United States. Thus, even in this area, two superpowers competed with each other! And in this case, Nikita Sergeevich really %%%%caught up and overtook ...%%%%

Another interesting detail: an exact copy of the Moscow monument adorns the city of Mirgorod in the poet%#39;s homeland.

His wife Lyubov Mendeleeva was also born and lived in the northern capital, but the poet and his Fair Lady met at the estate of Shakhmatovo near Moscow, located near Solnechnogorsk and belonged to the mother%rsquo;s poet%rsquo;s grandfather Andrey Beketov. In the estate, Alexander Blok spent the summer months, and his future spouse and muse rested in the nearby Boblovo estate, which belonged to her father, the famous chemist Dmitry Mendeleev.

In Moscow, Alexander Alexandrovich and Lyubov Dmitrievna spent two weeks after the wedding in January 1904.

86. %nbsp;Monument to N. K. Krupskaya in Moscow

Sretensky Boulevard in Moscow is decorated with monuments imbued with a revolutionary spirit. Some of them are dedicated to Nadezhda Krupskaya, the wife of the great revolutionary Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

The monument is a figure of a young girl who stands in the middle of the public garden and is wrapped in a huge scarf, trying to hide from the cold. The statue was made in 1975, when softer and romantic images came into vogue, and the old, %ldquo;severe%rdquo; style became obsolete.

As conceived by the author, young Nadezhda timidly but firmly takes the first steps in a new state. The face of the revolutionary is the main expression of that time, sullen decisiveness and firmness: %%%%We will not stand for the price.%%%%

Behind the monument there are two large stone slabs that look like open doors, from which a girl comes out.

In fact, Nadezhda Krupskaya played a significant role in the revolutionary-democratic movement. Being a zealous adherent of radical views, she was also a moral support for the leader of the revolution.

87. %nbsp;Monument to K.E. Tsiolkovsky in Moscow

The monument to Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (installed in 1964 by sculptor A.P. Faydysh-Krandievsky), located at the foot of the famous Monument to the Conquerors of the Cosmos, is not immediately noticeable to numerous visitors of the VDNH. Meanwhile, without this unique and surprising scientist, perhaps, there would not be such a bright take-off of the national astronautics. So let us turn to the sources of great scientific achievements.

Few know that the great scientist was self-taught. For unknown reasons, without having become a student at the Moscow Higher Technical School, he spent days and hours studying the exact sciences in the Chertkovo Public Library. Meanwhile, he then lived ninety kopecks a month, after 3 days buying bread for nine kopecks. From 1873 to 1876, Tsiolkovsky mastered almost the entire university program and could start working as a provincial teacher. So it happened that the Great Russian thinker worked on his brilliant ideas in Vyatka, in Ryazan, in a small provincial Borovsk, and for the last 40 years in Kaluga.

The next time Tsiolkovsky arrived in Moscow only in 1887. At a meeting of the Physics Department of the Society of Natural Science Lovers in the Polytechnic Museum in the presence of N. Ye. Zhukovsky and A. G. Stoletov, he talks about the project of a full-metal frameless airship. As a result, in 1892, the first book of K.E. Tsiolkovsky%#39;s %ldquo;Metal controlled balloon%rdquo; was published in Moscow.

Tsiolkovsky once again arrived in Moscow in 1903. %%%%Scientific Review%%%% prints one of the most important works of Tsiolkovsky - %%%%The study of world spaces with jet instruments,%%%% in which the scientist for the first time demonstrates the reality of the use of liquid fuel rockets, hydrogen and oxygen, for flights into space.

In 1923, Tsiolkovsky lectures at the Academy of the Air Fleet, in 1925 speaks at a dispute in the Polytechnic Museum, in 1926 participates in the discussion of his own dirigible project, and in 1932 in Moscow there are anniversary celebrations on the occasion of his 75th birthday.

Three years later, the great scientist was gone, and after 26 years the ship %%%%Vostok%%%% soared into the sky with Yuri Gagarin on board, proving the truth of the scientific aspirations of Tsiolkovsky.

89. %nbsp;Monument to Fyodor Cherenkov in Moscow

The monument to the legendary football player of the Moscow %ldquo;Spartak%rdquo; and the USSR national team Fyodor Cherenkov was opened on Monday at Spartak Stadium in Moscow.

The sculpture of Fyodor Cherenkov is made of bronze: it is depicted as a 24-year-old; just at this age in 1983 the football player was recognized as the best in the USSR. The monument was authored by Philip Rukavishnikov, who had previously executed the monument to the Starostin brothers, which was installed at the Discovery Arena in 2014.

In addition to the monument to Fyodor Cherenkov, a mosaic with the image of the legendary Spartak football player was also opened on the southern stand of the stadium.

%ldquo;We always got real pleasure from Cherenkov%rsquo;s game,%rdquo; recalls Nikita Simonyan, vice president of the RFU. %ldquo;His contribution to the Spartak style of play is priceless. It was an amazing person. He was modest. He didn%rsquo;t enter one door without knocking, although he could open any of them with my foot. %%%%

Fedor Cherenkov began the career in %ldquo;Spartacus%rdquo; at age 18. Already in his first full season, Cherenkov won the USSR championship in 1979, repeating this achievement in 1987 and 1989.

In 1983 and 1989, Cherenkov was recognized as the best football player in the country. In 1990, together with Spartak%rsquo;s long-time partner Sergei Rodionov, who now heads the Cherenkov Academy, the footballer left for France, where he never managed to play successfully as part of the Red Star club. Returning back, Cherenkov, in his 34 years, had a great 1993 season in Spartak, became the champion of Russia, and then ended his career.

Fyodor Cherenkov holds the record for the number of matches played for Spartak (515). Cherenkov played 34 matches for the USSR national team and scored 12 goals. Cherenkov died at the age of 56 on the night of October 4, 2014.

90. %nbsp;Monument to Alexander Suvorov in Moscow

The sculptor Oleg Komov, while creating the monument to Alexander Suvorov, tried to adhere to the traditions of realism and take into account all the minor nuances of his image. So, Suvorov is depicted with only one Order of St. Anne - and in his life the great commander, who had other awards, usually wore only it. Also Oleg Komov exactly conveyed the features of Suvorov%#39;s appearance and character.

Other authors portrayed Suvorov with great pathos, in particular, the author of the monument in St. Petersburg Mikhail Kozlovsky portrayed the commander in the image of the god of war Mars, which, however, was in line with the spirit of the end of the XVIII century and the trends adopted in the art of the time.

In Moscow, a monument to Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov was erected on the square, which has been bearing his name since the 90s of the last century. The square is located in the Meshchansky district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. Among its landmarks, in addition to the monument to Suvorov, there is also a monument to Mikhail Frunze by Yevgeny Vuchetich, samples of Stalinist architecture, the Saltykov estate of the 18th-19th centuries.

The decision that the monument to Alexander Suvorov is necessary for the capital was made by the USSR Council of Ministers in 1977. Three years later, the 250th anniversary of the commander%#39;s birthday was celebrated, and a competition was held in which the project of Oleg Komov and architect Veniamin Nesterov won. The statue and the pedestal were made in just two years, and in February 1982, the grand opening of the monument took place.

Address: Suvorov Square 2, Building 1

91. %nbsp;Monument to Anton Chekhov in Moscow

The surnames of many famous writers, cultural and art figures are connected with the history of Kamergersky Lane, but only some of them were erected in the alley monuments. This honor was awarded to the writer and playwright Anton Chekhov and the founders of the Moscow Art Theater Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. The monument to the founders of the Maly Art Academic Theater was installed in September 2014, and the monument to Anton Chekhov - in 1998. Its installation was dedicated to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Moscow Art Theater.

The troupe of the theater, next to which is a monument, in the late 80s of the last century, was divided into two parts. One of them began to be called the Small Art Theater named after Gorky, the second - the name of Chekhov. It is worth noting that at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, plays written by Anton Pavlovich made up the repertoire %%%%core%%%% of the theater. Some of the works Chekhov wrote specifically for the Moscow Art Theater stage are the plays The Seagull, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard and Uncle Vanya. The image of the seagull on the curtain was one of the symbols of the theater.

In 2013, the head of the Chekhov Theater Oleg Tabakov proposed to move the monument to the writer to a more suitable place closer to Bolshaya Dmitrovka.

92. %nbsp;Monument to dog Laika in Moscow

Not far from the Institute of Military Medicine there is a sculpture commemorating the memory of the first living creature that went into space - a dog named Laika.

This monument is made of bronze in the form of a large rocket, turning into an open palm, on which a figurine of a dog is mounted. Little fearless pooch openly and proudly looks at the world, not even knowing what a terrible fate awaited her. It was known in advance that Laika would not return from flight alive, if only because at that time they had not yet developed a landing technology for a satellite in which a passenger in it survives. It was supposed that Laika would spend a week in orbit, but the dog died from overheating a couple of hours after takeoff. The details of the Laika flight and its death were carefully hidden, and they officially announced that they had to put the dog to put down after landing.

Remarkably, the monument to the dog-cosmonaut Laika is set in a museum located on the island of Crete. Well, in our homeland cartoons and songs are devoted to her. It is believed that the monument to Laika brings good luck: stroke it, put a modest flower on a pedestal, and much should be improved in your life.

The Monument Blessed in centuries, the friendship of the peoples of Russia and Armenia is a symbol of friendship between two great nations, Russian and Armenian, is a statue of white marble, two female figures clinging to each other, and between them is a cross. They are united by common fate and pain, common hope, and together they protect the cross, the symbol of age-old friendship and spirituality. Two female figures personify the friendship of Russia and Armenia, held together by the eternal power of %%%%common faith%%%%.

The monument is made of white stone and located under the firs; the monument looks very tender and touching. It is located in a cozy public garden in the very center of Moscow near the benches, which make it possible to sit, relax and admire the view of the monument.

The history of Russian-Armenian relations has ancient traditions. It can be described as a constant rapprochement between the two peoples. For centuries, Russia has played an important role in the fate of the Armenian people. We have no right to limit the history of our friendship to the achievements of the past, and our goal is to pass on to our descendants the experience and fruits of this cooperation, thus laying the foundation for future relationships based on the principles of Christian love, brotherhood and mutual understanding.

On October 4, 1957, Soviet scientists launched the first artificial Earth satellite into space. A new, space era began. The successful launch of an artificial satellite of the Earth went down in history as the first step in the conquest of outer space by mankind.

At the ground station lobby of the Moscow metro station %%%%Rizhskaya%%%% there is a monument called %%%%First Satellite%%%%. It appeared here in 1985. The authors of this work are the architect VN Kartsev and the sculptor S. Ya. Kovner.

The seven-meter bronze sculpture is a full-length worker%#39;s figure, which holds a spherical figure in its hands - the first artificial satellite of the earth. The monument is dedicated to an important milestone in the development of human space. The hands of the worker are wide open; the clothes %ldquo;flutter%rdquo; in the wind. With one foot, he relies on a stone block, which allows the monument to be perceived not as static, but with full movement.

The pedestal, on which the sculpture is located, is decorated with a laudatory inscription: %ldquo;To the creators of the first satellite of the Earth%rdquo; and marked the year of this significant event - 1957. This monument was depicted on the USSR stamp.

By the way, a similar composition was established in the city of Rostov-on-Don on one of the main squares.

96. %nbsp;Monument to Muslim Magomayev in Moscow

In 2009, the next year after the death of Muslim Magomayev, the Moscow City Duma commission on monumental art decided to erect a monument in Moscow in Leontievsky Lane. It was assumed that the work will be funded by Crocus International (now the Crocus Group), after which the monument will be donated to Moscow. The place where the monument was installed was not chosen by chance: it is located next to the Azerbaijani embassy, ​​not far from the house where the singer lived.

On February 3, 2010, a foundation stone was laid in Moscow on the site of the future monument - a granite cube with carved words:

A monument to an eminent singer and musician Muslim Magomayev will be erected here.

Widow Tamara Sinyavskaya, Elena Obraztsova, Lyubov Sliska, President of Crocus International Aras Agalarov and friends of Muslim Magomayev took part in laying the stone.

A year later, on September 15, 2011, the grand opening of the monument took place. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan, Abulfaz Karayev, Elena Obraztsova, Bedros Kirkorov, Yevgeny Gerasimov, Yuri Nikolaev, Tatyana Tarasova, and the author of the monument, Alexander Rukavishnikov.

At her insistence, Muslim Magomayev is depicted young - the way he remembered the audience, although Rukavishnikov planned to portray him as tragically sad. The monument was cast in bronze and set on a granite pedestal. The whole composition is on the site of polished granite, made in the form of a grand piano. At the sidewalk in front of the monument granite balls were placed.

97. %nbsp;Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky in Moscow

The monument to Vladimir Vysotsky on Strastnoy Boulevard was installed in 1995 - the fifteenth anniversary of the death of the Russian poet, bard, theater and film actor. It was solemnly opened on the Petrovsky Gates Square, contrary to the words from one of his songs, %ldquo;they will not erect a monument in the park, somewhere near the Petrovsky Gates ...%rdquo;.

It is symbolic that in sculpture there is no such detail as the band on which the guitar should hold. It seems that the instrument is mysteriously glued to the back of the artist. In symbolic terms, this can be read, as the inextricable link of his soul and songs, music.

The sculptor of the monument to Vladimir Vysotsky Raspopov portrayed the poet with his arms spread out in different directions and his head turned towards the sky. Behind his back there is a constant companion of his life - an acoustic guitar. Seats are located around the pedestal; it seems that the bard is standing on the stage of the ancient amphitheater. At the monument on Strastnoy Boulevard almost always there are flowers.

98. %nbsp;Monument Fairy of Accounting in Moscow

In the heart of Sokolniki Park, a graceful girl soars with abacus in her hand, the personification of the accounting profession. The fairy is cast from bronze and covered with gold, and its honeycombs are made of shiny cubes shimmering in the sun. Each cube is a piece of work for an accountant. There are many of them, but they are arranged in strict order. In addition, the main accounting terms are applied to cubes - debit, credit, balance, balance, profit, etc. The guests of the park already have their own sign: if you rub a cube with the inscription %%%%Money%%%%, then there will always be order with cash.

Every tree, every bench in the Money Garden resembles the attributes of accounting work. So, the Fairy is surrounded by spherical shrubs - a reminder of the knuckles of an account. And at the entrance to the garden, guests are greeted by bushes of trimmed thuja: a rectangular perimeter and cylindrical %%%%buttons%%%%. This is a reminder of a more modern accountant tool, a calculator. Along the avenue there are benches on which financial aphorisms flaunt: %%%%Only philosophers and accountants calmly relate to money%%%%, %%%%Making money is courage, saving it is wisdom, and spending is art.%%%%

A special decoration of the garden is a hedge with two carved metal inserts in the form of trees. Another sign: if you tie a ribbon to a branch and tell the garden about your dream, everything will come true. A prerequisite is that desire must be material.

We are accustomed to the fact that figures made in the form of monuments of celebrities are standing, walking, %nbsp;or sitting. This monument is notable for the fact that Alexander Sergeevich lies on the couch in a very relaxed position with his legs thrown back.

A monument to the poet Osip Emilievich Mandelstam was opened in Moscow in 2008 on October 28 on the eve of the tragic date - the 70th anniversary of his tragic death, which falls on December 27.

The winners of the competition for the installation of a bust monument announced in 2007 were won by sculptors Dmitry Mikhailovich Shakhovskoy and Elena Vladimirovna Munts. The architect was Alexander Savich Brodsky.

The composition of the monument-bust is made of bronze and four black basalt cubes, composed into a pedestal. The look of the bronze poet, proud and happy, is directed upwards. An association is being created that the poet as if ponders what he read, or concentrates on listening to the new poetic lines sounding in his soul.

On the front plane of the pedestal, the verse lines of Mandelstam himself are carved obliquely: %ldquo;For explosive valor from the coming centuries.%rdquo;

%nbsp;Osip Emilevich was born in 1891 in Warsaw. He became one of the pioneers of such a direction in literature as Acmeism. He is the author of collections of poems %%%%Tristia%%%% and %%%%Second Book%%%%, as well as the stories %%%%The Egyptian Mark%%%% and %%%%The Noise of Time%%%%.

In Moscow, a lot of places are associated with the life of the poet. One of them was chosen for the installation of the monument - in the public garden at the corner of Zabelin Street, where his brother lived in the house number 3 in a communal apartment, and Starosadsky Lane.

It is worth noting that the monument-bust of Osip Mandelstam in Moscow was the third established in the country, after Vladivostok and Voronezh.

The monument organically fit into the usual for that era urban environment, where old trees still remain untouched, which, perhaps, remember this talented poet.

105. Monument to A. Tolstoy in Moscow

The monument to A. Tolstoy was erected in Moscow, in the square in front of the main entrance to the Great Ascension Temple, on Bolshaya Nikitinskaya Street. The grand opening of the monument to the writer, cast in bronze and installed on a small pedestal of black Labrador, was held on July 3, 1957. The authors of the project were the sculptor G. I. Motovilov and the architect L. M. Polyakov.

The figure of the writer, sitting in a chair with the same pencil in his hand, according to the author, reflects the spirit of hard work of thought and creative flight. Looking closer, you can see an unexpected edge of the image, with all, seemingly the standard composition of the monument. A relaxed, somewhat imposing posture of the writer, hairstyle, deliberate carelessness of clothes, inspired facial expression - all these features are more characteristic of young, impetuous authors, novice writers of the Silver Age. But it is the author of the concept of %ldquo;monumental realism,%rdquo; the luminary of Russian literature, which gives the monument a special character.

Address: Bolshaya Nikitinskaya Street

106. Monument to Vasily Surikov in Moscow

A monument to the artist Vasily Ivanovich Surikov was opened in Moscow in 2003. The ceremony was attended by the then mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov and Zurab Tsereteli, the president of the Academy of Arts.

The authors of the project are the sculptor Pereyaslavets Mikhail Vladimirovich and the architect Semenov Alexei Mikhailovich.

The sculptural composition is cast in bronze and mounted on a pedestal of red granite. Their height is 2.6 and 1.84 meters, respectively.

The sculptor captured Surikov with a proud bearing, noble features and an open look. This is not just a sculptor%#39;s fantasy in the transfer of the image, but a desire to show the real essence of the artist. Here it would be appropriate to quote the words of Maximilian Voloshin from his Biographical Materials:

%%%%Surikov was of medium height, strong, broad-shouldered, youthful, despite the fact that he was under seventy... In his simple appearance, popular, but not peasant, he felt as strong, hardened: he was bound for the northern, Cossack ... %%%%.

Next to the growth figure, on the pedestal, there are eternal companions of the artist - an easel, a palette, as well as brushes.

Vasily Ivanovich Surikov is a talented artist. He was especially famous for his large-scale paintings dedicated to historical figures and events. Among them there are Boyarya Morozova, Suvorov%rsquo;s Crossing the Alps, Menshikov in Berezovo, Conquest of Siberia by Yermak Timofeyevich, Stepan Razin and many others.

107. Monument to Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna in Moscow

The monument to Elizabeth Feodorovna Romanova was established on the territory of the Martha-Mariinsky Convent, founded by the Grand Duchess in 1909.

After the death of the spouse, Moscow Governor-General Sergei Alexandrovich (killed by the terrorist Ivan Kalyaev in 1905), Elizaveta Fyodorovna withdrew from social life, sold out family jewels and founded the monastery of sisters of charity with the proceeds.

In 1918, together with other members of the royal family, the princess was arrested, taken out of Moscow and shot near Alapayevsk. She is listed as a saint.

The monument is a figure of a fragile woman in monastic attire on a low pedestal. The inscription on the pedestal: %%%%Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna with repentance.%%%% The monument was erected in 1990, when the activity of the monastery was not yet restored (this happened in 1992). The erection of the monument, one might say, served as the first sign of its revival.

108. Monument to A.M. Gorky in Moscow

In 1951, one of the sights of Moscow appeared at the Belorussky railway station - a monument to Maxim Gorky. Sculptors - V. Mukhina, I. Shadr, N. Zelenskaya, Z. Ivanova. Architect monument - Z. Rosenfeld. Maxim Gorky is an outstanding writer, playwright and poet who worked at the turn of the 19-20 century. Few people know that %%%%Maxim Gorky%%%% is the pseudonym of the writer. His real name is Alexei Maksimovich Peshkov. However, the 4-sided pedestal of the monument contains the pseudonym of the great classic. From above, on the pedestal is a sculpture of Maxim Gorky, in an open coat with a cane and a hat in his hands. That was exactly how Gorky was remembered when he returned to Moscow from Italy in 1928.

Looking at the monument, it creates the feeling that Maxim Gorky was waiting for his return to his native land after a long separation. In 2005, due to the reconstruction of the Tverskaya Zastava Square, the monument was roughly dismantled and moved to the Museon Art Park, where it lay in snow and mud for over a year. Later, financial means were allocated for the reconstruction of the monument, and in 2007, the sculpture of Maxim Gorky took place in the Museum of Art Park on Krymsky Val. According to the authorities, after the completion of the reconstruction of the Tverskaya Zastava Square, the monument to Maxim Gorky will be moved to its original place.

112. Monument to the heroes of the First World War in Moscow

The monument to the heroes of the First World War was opened in Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill on August 1, 2014 - the centenary anniversary of Russia%#39;s entry into the First World War.

The central figure of the composition is a simple Russian soldier who had fulfilled the duty to protect his Homeland and became the St. George Cavalier: the figure of a soldier ascended to a high pedestal column decorated with a St. George cross. On the back of the pedestal there are the sign battles and dates: 1914 - Gumbinnen, 1914 - Warsaw, 1915 - Przemysl, 1915 - Osovets, 1916 - Erzerum, 1916 - Brusilovsky breakthrough. Over the man%rsquo;s shoulder, the overcoat of his greatcoat and rifle are thrown, his gaze is fixed on the distance. As conceived by the sculptor, the figure of a soldier is a collective image of a Russian soldier of the early 20th century, who could theoretically go through all the wars of that time: from Russian-Japanese to Civil and Great Patriotic, although the monument is dedicated to the First World War.

Behind the soldier bilateral multi-figured composition is settled. The front side of the composition shows two plots: the first - against the background of the Russian flag, the officer raises a detachment of soldiers to the attack, behind them is the sister of mercy with the wounded; second, women escort men to war. Differences in clothing (in the plot with wires, soldiers are shown with overcoats in a roll over the shoulder, with an attack %mdash; dressed in an overcoat) suggest a chronological connection between the subjects. Among other figures, one can see references to real people: for example, Kozma Kryuchkov, the first Cavalier of the First World War, became the prototype of one of the soldiers, and the image of sister of mercy is Princess Elizabeth Feodorovna, who became famous for her disinterested charitable work and help to wounded soldiers. On the %%%%back%%%% side of the monument there are horsemen with swords and lances.

Address: Kutuzov Avenue, Victory Park

114. Monument to Alexander I. Herzen in Moscow

In the courtyard of the house number 25 on Tverskoy Boulevard, near the famous Literary Institute, there is a monument to Herzen of the sculptor M.O. Milberger and architect K.M. Sapegin.

The choice of location for the monument is explained by the fact that the building of the institute is known as the %%%%Herzen%#39;s house%%%%. The fact is that the estate at the beginning of the XIX century belonged to Senator A.A. Yakovlev - the brother of A.I. Herzen. In this house, the illegitimate son of Yakovlev and German %nbsp;Henrietta-Wilhelmina-Louise The Hague was born and spent the first five months of his life (last name given by the father of the German word %%%%heart%%%%). When adult, Alexander Ivanovich came to this house to visit his cousin.

At the end of October 1959, a monument to A.I. Herzen was opened in a former manor.

The bronze figure of the writer, cast in full-length bronze, is set on a low pedestal of black polished granite. The authors of the monument portrayed the writer as somewhat tense, apparently due to the fact that Herzen%rsquo;s life was associated with revolutionary activities. In his left hand he holds the galleys of the famous %%%%Bell%%%%, the release of which he was engaged.

Address: Tverskoy Boulevard, 25

115. Monument to Pavel Melnikov in Moscow

The monument to Pavel Petrovich Melnikov, the first Minister of Railways of Russia, is located on Komsomolskaya Square, in Moscow. It was made of bronze by sculptor Salavat Shcherbakov, and the grand opening of the four-meter monument took place on August 2, 2003. The monument is a figure of P. Melnikov in the ceremonial uniform and with orders.

Pavel Petrovich Melnikov was a talented engineer, one of the authors of the St. Petersburg-Moscow railway project, and in 1865-1869 he was the first Minister of Railways of the Russian Empire. The monument to P.P. Melnikov was made at the expense of the Ministry of Railways of Russia.

Special attention was given to the fact that on the opening day of the monument, Komsomolskaya Square, where the monument is located, should have been renamed into the Square of the Three Railway Stations. The official renaming did not take place, but the new name stuck in the people and is used to this day.

Address: Komsomolskaya Square

116. Monument to L.N. Tolstoy in Moscow

House number 52 on Povarskaya Street in Moscow entered the history of Russian literature as a mansion of the Rostov family, described by Leo Tolstoy in the novel War and Peace. In fact, this classic mansion, built in the XVIII century, was owned by the princes Dolgorukov. Later, the mansion turned out to be connected with several other surnames known in the literary world. Thus, in the second half of the 19th century, the poet Ivan Aksakov and Anna Tyutcheva, the daughter of Fyodor Tyutchev, were married at the mansion at the mansion. Nina Chavchavadze, the widow of Alexander Griboyedov, stopped here, and Fyodor Sologub was the owner of the estate for a short time. In the 30s of the last century the Union of Soviet Writers was located in the house, headed by Maxim Gorky.

In 1956, a monument to Leo Tolstoy was erected in front of this mansion - in this way, Ukrainian writers made a gift to their capital colleagues in honor of the 300th anniversary of the reunification of Russia and Ukraine. The sculptural image of the Great Russian writer was created by sculptor Galina Novokreschenova and architect V.N. Vasnetsov. It is possible that the portrait of Leo Tolstoy, written by Ilya Repin in 1887, served as a source of inspiration for the sculptor. Both in the portrait and in the bronze of the monument, Lev Nikolayevich is depicted sitting in a chair approximately in the same pose, in one hand he holds a book, and the other hand rests on the arm of the chair. The difference lies mainly in the inclination of the writer%#39;s head and the direction of his gaze.

On the pedestal there is an inscription in the Ukrainian and Russian languages ​​%ldquo;To the writers of brotherly Russia in commemoration of the holiday of the 300th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine and Russia from the writers of Soviet Ukraine%rdquo;.

Address: Povarskaya st., 25

He graduated from the flight school %%%%Dobrolet%%%% and the Moscow flight-technical school and became a brilliant pilot. One of the first to receive the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for participating in the rescue of the %ldquo;Chelyuskinites%rdquo;, having completed a flight of almost 6,500 kilometers on an R-5 plane from Khabarovsk to Vankar; Vodopyanov flew three times from Anadyr to the distress and brought 10 people. In 1936-1937 he took part in arctic and high-latitude expeditions, during one of which he landed for the first time in the world on ice near the North Pole using a braking parachute; thanks to Vodopyanov, a group of wintering men was brought to the North, who organized the world%#39;s first drifting research station, the North Pole-1. After the war, Major General Aviation Vodopyanov participated in expeditions to the North, and then began to actively engage in writing, covering the topic of flights and aviation in the stories.

The monument to Mikhail Vodopyanov was installed on Khodynsky Boulevard in 2013. The 3.3-meter-high bronze statue is mounted on a 1.5-meter stepped pedestal in the form of a block of ice: the sculpture depicts a plot from the life of a pilot %mdash; landing on the ice of the North Pole. The author of the composition is sculptor Alexander Golovachev. The sculpture is located on the so-called Alley of hero pilots on the Khodynka field: it was assumed that the monument to Vodopyanov would be the first of a series of monuments installed here, but so far it has remained the only one.

Address: Khodynskoe field

118. Monument to Charles de Gaulle in Moscow

The monument to Charles de Gaulle in Moscow was opened in front of the Cosmos Hotel on May 9, 2005. The place to install was chosen not by chance: in 1990, the square in front of the hotel received the name of Charles de Gaulle, and 15 years later it was decided to perpetuate it with a monument.

Charles Andre Joseph Marie de Gaulle (1890%ndash;1970) is a French military and statesman, general, symbol of the French Resistance during the Second World War, as well as the founder and first president of the Fifth Republic (President of France). Despite his personal dislike of communism, de Gaulle established close relations with the Soviet Union and concluded a number of important agreements, including cooperation in science and space exploration, which made the USSR and France strategic allies.

The monument is made with a portrait likeness and depicts the French leader in a somewhat constrained, but in a military manner, a strict posture: having stooped a little, he simply stands straight with his arms down. Sharp shoulders slightly upturned, and on the face as if frozen deep sadness; narrowing his eyes, the bronze de Gaulle looks off into the distance. The general is dressed in a typical military uniform: a tunic, a belt, an army cap with two generals stars on his head. A small badge with a cross on the jacket draws attention - this is the Lorraine cross, the symbol of the %%%%Gaullist%%%% branch of the Resistance movement. The figure is erected on a high cylindrical pedestal on which the name and title are engraved in Russian and French: %%%%General Charles de Gaulle. President of the French Republic%%%%.

121. Diver-Lighthouse in Moscow

The sculpture %%%%Diver-lighthouse%%%% on Pushkin Embankment in Gorky Park was opened on May 5, 2016 - on the day of the diver.

The author of the sculpture - artist Leonid Tishkov - was guided by the conceptual idea of ​​the famous Soviet sculptor Vera Mukhina. In 1937, Mukhina, who had already become famous thanks to the monument %ldquo;Worker and Kolkhoz Woman%rdquo;, worked on the heroic image of the %ldquo;epronovets%rdquo;. EPRON is an Expedition of special purpose underwater work, created in 1923 to lift sunken ships and submarines. The history of EPRON began with a particularly secret assignment: divers were sent to Balaklava Bay to search for the English frigate %ldquo;Prince%rdquo; sunken in 1854; the young Soviet government hoped that on board a ship sunken during the time of the Crimean War, treasures could be hidden with which to replenish the treasury devastated by the Civil War. They did not find the treasure, but in the first 2 years of work, the destroyer and 2 submarines were lifted from the bottom of the Black Sea, which were later repaired and transferred to the fleet. In 1941, the EPRON was fully incorporated into the Navy as an emergency rescue service.

Vera Mukhina, inspired by the image of the %%%%conqueror of the elements%%%%, conceived an unusual sculpture of a diver 40 meters high, which would also be a lighthouse at the same time. In her letter to the head of EPRON Fontiy Krylov, the sculptor clarified that there is a suitable place near Balaklava where a lighthouse is required, and she would like to make this lighthouse in the form of a diver. Glitter would become associated with wet clothes, and the helmet can accommodate the necessary equipment for the beacon. Unfortunately, the avant-garde idea of ​​Mukhina did not materialize.

Leonid Tishkov%rsquo;s Lighthouse Diver, installed on Pushkinskaya Embankment of Gorky Park, is made on a much smaller scale (about 3 meters), but has all the attributes of a real beacon: a rhythmically flashing lamp is lit in its helmet, which lights up with city lighting. The bronze diver is made in the style of the 1930s, and the shape and black and white color of the pedestal are inspired by the Kyz-Aul lighthouse, which stands on the Kerch Peninsula.

122. Monument to V.V. Vorovsky in Moscow

The monument to Vatslav Vorovsky was erected in Moscow at the intersection of Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most in May 1943, a year after the death of Vorovsky. The sculptor Yankel Katz became the author of the monument.

In 1923, the Plenipotentiary Representative of the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR in Italy, Vatslav Vatslavovich Vorovsky, was part of the Soviet delegation at the Lausanne Conference in Switzerland. On May 10, in the Cecil restaurant, Vorovsky was shot dead by former White Guard Maurice Conradi. The court issued the acquittal of the murderer and his accomplice Arkady Polunin, citing crimes committed by the Bolsheviks in the USSR. This led to the rupture of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Switzerland.

This monument is considered to be one of the most curious in Moscow. Vorovsky is depicted in a rather absurd pose, his clothes are untidy. Muscovites gave this monument many nicknames; it is called the %ldquo;radiculitis monument%rdquo;, %ldquo;the dancing lame%rdquo;, %ldquo;the drunk lame%rdquo;. But Vorovsky%rsquo;s contemporaries said that this was exactly what comrades plenipotentiary looked like in the heat of a dispute: head, holding the other hand strap on the pants.

124. Solovetsky stone in Moscow

132. Monument to Peter Stolypin in Moscow

The monument to Peter Stolypin was opened on the Square of Free Russia near the House of the Government of the Russian Federation on December 27, 2012 in honor of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the famous Russian reformer.

Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin (1862-1911) was a statesman of the Russian Empire, in different years served as prime minister, minister of internal affairs, Grodno and Saratov governor, as well as the county leader of the nobility in Kovno. In Russian history, he is known as a reformer, whose name is associated with a large-scale agrarian reform, %%%%mastering%%%% the eastern part of the country and Siberia by resettling peasants from the European part of Russia, changing the electoral system in the State Duma, repressions against revolutionaries and terrorists and other significant time questions. Stolypin is a very controversial figure in Russian history, his actions are often discussed within the framework of historical discussions, and those who are discussing do not have a common opinion about who the reformer really was - a great benefactor or a bloody tyrant. One way or another, Peter Stolypin became a symbol of his era. During his life he suffered 11 attempts, from the last of which he died.

The sculpture depicts Stolypin standing to his full height with a prize sword, without which he did not appear in public, and orders on his chest. The reformer%#39;s right hand on the sculpture is pressed to the body, and this also makes sense - in life his right hand did not move well after being seriously wounded (the nerve was broken) received in a duel with Prince Ivan Shakhovsky. A plate with a quote from Stolypin%rsquo;s speech is set on the pedestal: %%%%In the defense of Russia, we must all unite, coordinate our efforts, our duties and our rights to maintain Russia%#39;s one supreme right - to be strong!%%%%

Near the monument on a special stand, the most famous sayings of Munchhausen, which over time sent winged phrases from several generations of Russians, are displayed.

This fairytale hero with real roots is loved not only in Moscow, but also in many countries of the post-Soviet space and monuments to him in different situations have been established in many other cities. Perhaps he is loved precisely for his positive and naivety, as well as for the simplicity and wisdom of his sayings in the most extreme conditions.

The place where the monument to the author of %ldquo;Don Quixote%rdquo; is located is the Friendship Park on the Leningrad Highway. In Moscow, this %%%%Spaniard%%%% appeared in the framework of cultural exchange between Spain and the USSR. A monument to Alexander Pushkin, created by sculptor Oleg Komov, went to Madrid, and the Soviet capital received a copy of the monument that Antonio Sol created in the 19th century. In Moscow, in the surrounding area of ​​the monument was inscribed by the efforts of architects Igor Voskresensky and Yuri Kalmykov.

Moscow Miguel Cervantes several times lost this attribute of belonging to the nobility - it was constantly broken off by attackers. According to the status (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra came from a family of impoverished nobles) he is supposed to be with a sword, but for anti-vandal reasons the monument has been standing for some time without it.

%ldquo;The choice made is not accidental. Two great poets of Russia and the United States are related by true nationality and at the same time humanity - if you use the words of Fyodor Dostoevsky - their work,%rdquo; Lavrov said. %ldquo;If Pushkin is ours, then Whitman, as they called him contemporaries, %ldquo;the poet of America, he is America itself.%rdquo; %ldquo;Like Alexander Pushkin, who possessed the %ldquo;ability of worldwide responsiveness,%rdquo; the reformer of American poetry Whitman combined in himself an outstanding creative talent with a deep philosophical vision of history and understanding the unity of human civilization, - said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

In turn, at the opening ceremony of the monument, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted that %%%%as Pushkin and Whitman%%%% reset %%%%the poetry of their days, so the United States and Russia%%%% reset %%%%relations and, importantly, between the two nations.%%%%

In the Soviet period, Shchusev%#39;s talent was also in demand - in 1918%ndash;1923 he led the development of the %ldquo;New Moscow%rdquo; master plan. This plan was the first Soviet attempt to create a realizable concept for the development of the city in the spirit of a large garden city. The project was aimed at a clear zoning of the territory, preservation of the historical center and many separate old public buildings and temples, the development of %%%%green wedges%%%% from the center to the periphery, the reconstruction of a number of highways, the Moscow river port and railway junction, etc. Also Shchusev designed the mausoleum on Krasnaya square.

140. Monument to Ernst Telman in Moscow

The monument to Telman in Moscow is located on the territory of the Airport district of the Northern administrative district of the capital, installed on the square named after him on Leningradsky Avenue near the Aeroport metro exit.

The monument to Telman in Moscow, a German anti-fascist, the chairman of the German Communist Party, Ernst Telman, appeared on the square named after him in 1986 in connection with the 100th anniversary of his birth. The work was performed by sculptors Vl. A. Artamonov, V. A. Artamonov and architect V. A. Nesterov. The sculpture, like many monuments of the Soviet era, was made in a revolutionary spirit: a courageous figure dressed in simple clothes and a strong weighty fist - an epoch-making image of an ardent communist.

In the conditions of modernity, when communism has already lost its former position, many pedestals for revolutionary figures were destroyed. The same fate awaited the monument to Telman in Moscow, however, the public, having learned about such sentiments of the authorities, strongly came out in his defense, arguing that Telman, first of all, opposed fascism and the Nazis, and this is relevant to this day.

141. Monument to F.I. Chaliapin in Moscow

In 1910, the famous opera bass Fyodor Chaliapin bought a house in Moscow located on Novinsky Boulevard, and lived in it with his family until his departure from Russia in 1922. In the late 80s, Fyodor Ivanovich%#39;s museum was opened in this house, and at the beginning of this century a monument to the singer was erected in front of the museum.

The installation history of this monument can be called an adventure undertaken by sculptor Vadim Tserkovnikov, the author of the project. The monument was erected in the summer of 2003 without coordination with the authorities, under cover of night, but, nevertheless, is still in place. The work of the Churchman was offered to be demolished and moved to another place, for example, to the Bolshoi Theater, in which Fyodor Chaliapin was a soloist.

The singer is depicted sitting on the ground, leaning his back against the trunk of a fallen tree. The artistic value of this work was criticized - the land on which Chaliapin sits, more reminiscent of the critics of dirt, and the singer himself - a drunkard, who does not hold his legs. Although the author, of course, put a completely different meaning into his work: both the earth and the bare roots of the tree were to become a symbol of Chaliapin%#39;s longing for homeland. In addition, Vadim Tserkovnikov took as a basis the famous Chaliapin posture, in which the singer was portrayed by his contemporary, the artist Ilya Repin. The sculptural composition was placed on a low pedestal, and in general the height of the entire monument does not exceed two and a half meters.

Fyodor Chaliapin died in Paris in 1938 at the age of 65. His opera career began in 1899. In his Moscow opera career a big role was played by philanthropist Savva Mamontov, who offered the main parts to the singer in his theater. After the Mammoth Theater, Fyodor Shalyapin sang on the stages of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters, but the Mammoth period was considered one of the most important in his work.

But near the village of Nelidovo, at the railway junction of Dubosekovo, on November 16 a fierce battle took place, which the fascists were given by the fighters of the 316th rifle division of General Ivan Panfilov.

In 1975, when the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War was celebrated, a memorial complex was erected near the village of Nelidovo near the mass grave of Panfilov: six full-length stone soldiers rose on the battlefield to meet the enemy and not to let it go to Moscow. The concrete strip symbolizes the line that the fascists could not overcome. The complex includes a granite wall with a description of the Panfilov%rsquo;s feat and a granite platform with a pedestal in the shape of a star for laying wreaths. A group of sculptors and architects worked on the creation of the memorial, which included Alexey Postol, Nikolai Lyubimov and others. For Postol, this work became a thesis project.

A few years earlier, in 1967, the Museum of Panfilov Heroes was opened in Nelidovo, in which things of fighters and political instructor Klochkov, front letters, documents, photos, newspapers are kept. One of the exhibits, the field bag of General Panfilov, was handed over to the museum in 2006 by Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev.

The monument to Dante Alighieri in the Hermitage Garden was installed in Moscow, and was donated to the city from the Italian government in 2000. This bust was made by Italian sculptor Rinaldo Piras.

Dante Alighieri was an Italian poet who had a serious influence on the development and formation of the modern literary Italian language. He wrote the famous %%%%Divine Comedy%%%%, written in the period from 1307 to 1321, which is popular among connoisseurs of poetry today. Literary critics call this work the quintessence of medieval culture.

The quote from the Divine Comedy translated by the Russian poet Mikhail Leonidovich Lozinski, carved on the monument: %%%%He desired freedom so precious, as everyone knows who gives life to it,%%%% became a dedication to Dante himself and his high aspirations.

152. Monument to Sholokhov in Moscow

On May 24, 2007, on the birthday of M.A. Sholokhov, a monument was erected not far from the house where the writer lived. The sculpture depicts Sholokhov with oars on the bow of a boat crossing the Don. Horses are swimming across the river around him, the heads of red horses are looking in one direction, the heads of white horses are looking in another, and only one foal does not know where to swim. On the other side of the boulevard there is a bench with bas-reliefs of the plots of the civil war.

They wanted to install the monument to Sholokhov on Gogol Boulevard back in the 80s, but the project was frozen. Then the competition for the monument to Sholokhov was won by Julian Rukavishnikov, the father of the current sculptor Alexander Rukavishnikov. In 2007, the son completed the work of his father, with whom he won the new competition.

In the winter, passersby often hares stuck together from snow into the boat to Mikhail Aleksandrovich, because of which the monument is sometimes ironically called the monument to grandfather Mazay.

Address: Gogol Boulevard

153. Monument to Ivan Shmelev in Moscow

Ivan Sergeevich Shmelev was an outstanding Russian writer, journalist, Orthodox thinker.

In 1917, Shmelev first enthusiastically embraced the February Revolution; repeatedly spoke at rallies, campaigning for the %%%%marvelous idea of ​​socialism.%%%% Pretty soon, however, he was faced with the reverse, black side of the revolution, massacres, famine and other disasters. The October Revolution Shmelev already met with an ardent opponent of Bolshevism.

Shmelev left Moscow for the Crimea, then still unoccupied by the Red Army. In 1920, when the Crimea also fell under the onslaught of the Bolsheviks, the only son of Shmelev, an officer of the Russian army, was arrested and shot. Shmelev himself was not touched.

Shmelev returns to Moscow, seriously thinks about emigration. Ivan Bunin is actively calling him abroad, promising full support. As a result, in 1923, Shmelev left for Paris forever, where he will live 27 years.

Died Shmelev in 1950 in France, buried in the Paris cemetery of Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois.

50 years after the writer%#39;s death, at the intersection of Lavrushinsky and Bolshoy Tolmachevsky lanes, near the building of the former gymnasium, where Shmelev studied, his monument was erected.

154. Monument-bust to V. N. Volkov in Moscow

The monument to the Soviet space pilot Vladislav Volkov was installed on August 7, 1975 on a street named after him. The monument recalls the tragic event of June 30, 1971 - the death of all members of the crew of the Soyuz-11 descent vehicle, which included Vladimir Volkov.

The bronze bust of the pilot is located on granite polished granite pedestal, which bends around the terminating %%%%orbit%%%%, symbolizing the cosmonaut%#39;s last flight. The inscription on the monument: %ldquo;Pilot-cosmonaut Volkov Vladislav Nikolayevich,%rdquo; below there are awards he received - two medals of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

The reason for the death of the crew was a small hole the size of 5 kopecks. According to the official version, it was formed as a result of unforeseen circumstances; however, some scientists consider it to be the result of an error in design calculations. Theoretically, the lethal hole could be plugged by any means at hand; however, the depressurization occurred in a matter of seconds, preventing cosmonauts from doing anything. Dobrovolsky only managed to pull off his seat belts.

After the tragedy, a number of recommendations were urgently developed to eliminate the negative consequences in case of depressurization of the descent vehicle, as well as special suits for astronauts that guarantee the safety of the crew.

156. Sculpture Bread in Moscow

In 1937, the sculptor Vera Mukhina created her own sculpture, Bread. Almost 40 years later, in 1976, an exact copy of the monument was installed in the Friendship of Peoples Park, but only by another sculptor.

On the one hand, this seems quite natural, but it%rsquo;s almost impossible for any self-respecting sculptor to make other people%#39;s creations repeat. Most likely, even some sculptors study the works of great masters and in the workshop they are trained to create or reproduce the like, thus honing their skills. But in order not to be in a workshop, but to cast a full-fledged monument, and even leave your authorship on it, it is almost impossible. There is, of course, the option that a person wanted to attach himself to someone else%rsquo;s glory, or even give his work as the best in comparison with the original, but knowing the history and spirit of the Soviet era, you can be sure that the sculptor A.M. Sergeyev was thoroughly forced to do this.

The monument to the bread in Moscow by sculptor A.M. Sergeev can be found in the Park of Friendship of Peoples (near the metro station River Station).

In those early years (presumably in 1957), a whole park was created on the occasion of the Sixth World Festival of Youth and Students. Then they somehow tried to be friends, even parks were created for this, and in order that the park was not only beautiful, but also cultural, orders were made to various sculptors forcibly. And already the guests of the capital saw beauty and cultural sights everywhere, wondering little about who had to do all this and how quickly so that everything looked like an idyll.

157. Monument to all the Lovers in Moscow

The monument to all lovers in the Hermitage Garden is located in the western part of the garden, located on Karetny Ryad Street, in Moscow. The monument is a heart made of 70 meters of stainless steel pipes, and the idea for its creation was the heart pattern found on the wall of Juliet%#39;s house in Verona.

So, on February 14, 2005, during the celebration of Valentine%#39;s Day on the territory of the most romantic garden of the capital, the Silver Rain radio station received a photo of the heart and a year later the opening of this unusual monument took place.

The monument to all lovers is surrounded by a picturesque flower bed, and in the center of the heart Japanese bells hang playing a delicate melody with each wind. Many traditions are associated with the monument, lovers and newlyweds are taking pictures of it with pleasure, and on Valentine%#39;s Day an unusual competition for the most passionate and long kiss takes place here.

A bronze bust-monument to A. N. Bakulev, an outstanding surgeon and cardiologist, was erected in front of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery named after him (Leninsky Ave., 8).

Alexander Nikolaevich Bakulev (1890-1967), the founder of cardiovascular surgery in our country, the author of scientific works on neurosurgery, surgical treatment of the lungs, heart diseases and large vessels, was a versatile specialist and founder of the Soviet school of surgeons.

The authors of the monument are sculptor G. I. Ozolina, architect S. M. Molchanov. The opening took place on June 24, 1976.

Address: Leninsky prospect, d.8 / 7

159. Monument-bust to K.E. Tsiolkovsky in Moscow

The bust of the eminent scientist and inventor, founder of modern cosmonautics Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky was installed in Petrovsky Park near the Petrovsky Travel Palace on the spot where the Left Palace Avenue begins from Leningradsky Prospect. The choice of location for the monument is explained by the fact that for 75 years, until 1998, the Air Force Engineering Order of Lenin and the October Revolution, the Red Banner Academy named after Professor N. Ye. Zhukovsky was housed in the Palace of the Palace.

The monument is a granite bust of a scientist on a high granite pedestal with the inscription: %%%%Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky 1857-1935.%%%% The opening of the monument took place in 1957, the year of the centenary of the birth of the famous Russian scientist.

160. Monument to a seasonal worker in Moscow

%%%%Seasonal worker%%%% is one of the famous sculptures of Ivan Shadr, installed in the park on Lermontov Square (behind the monument to Lermontov) in 1930; also known as the %%%%seasonal worker monument%%%%.

A seasonal worker is a person employed in jobs that, due to natural, climatic or any other reasons, are not performed all year round, but only during a certain period (season), in a broad sense - a worker who came to the city from a distance for the sake of temporary earnings. Nowadays, such workers are often called the dry and slightly contemptuous word %%%%guest worker%%%%.

Shadr%#39;s sculpture depicts a seasonal man as a lonely person in working clothes with sleeves rolled up over his shoulders and worn-out boots. The worker looks tired and exhausted: his body is hunched, his eyes are thoughtful and filled with melancholy, and with his left hand he nervously twists a strand of hair of an already fallen beard. His appearance is so meaningful, thoughtful and focused, as if the sculpture depicts not a seasonal worker, but a wise ancient Greek philosopher. High anatomical shape attracts attention: wrist and elbow joints, hands and fingers, muscle relief and even large veins, cheekbones look so realistic as if it is a living person of flesh and blood. The sculpture is made of Ural marble and erected on a cubic granite pedestal.

The location for the installation was not accidentally chosen: not far from here, in Orlikovy lane, in the 1920s there was a labor exchange, where seasonal workers who came to Moscow flowed.

Address: Lermontovskaya Square

161. Sculpture Disc Thrower in Moscow

Since the 1930s, a whole ensemble of various sculptures has been located in Gorky Park, including replicas of world famous antique statues. Among them was the statue of sculptor Myron %%%%Discoball%%%%.

Subsequently, the statues were dismantled, and more recently, in 2010, a modern sculpture appeared on one of the alleys of the park leading from the light-music fountain to Pushkin Embankment. It also shows a man throwing a disk, but it looks completely different than the sculpture of Miron. This is a copy of the original sculpture of the master Manizer, created in 1927-1935, for two parks at once - the Central Park of Culture and Culture of Moscow (Gorky) and Leningrad (Kirov).

Address: Central Park of Culture and Rest named after Gorky. Central alley

162. Monument to Shurik and Lida in Moscow

The place of interest is a fifteen minute walk from the Tekstilshchiki metro station.

Fans of Soviet films well remember one of the funniest episodes in the movie %ldquo;Operation Y and Other Adventures of Shurik%rdquo;, when Shurik and Lidochka, while preparing for exams, read together one synopsis. This moment was reproduced in the sculpture, installed at the Moscow Economic Institute in 2012, just on January 25, when student%#39;s day is celebrated.

The only difference is that Shurik is on the left and not on the right hand, as it was in the film, but this is the only difference. In all other respects, the figures of %ldquo;eternal students%rdquo; completely repeat the frame from the film - Lidochka in a light dress with hair gathered in a tail, Shurik in his famous glasses with an armpit book looks over her shoulder, trying to read as much as possible, there are no emotions on their faces except extreme concentration - just like in the movies! Natalya Selezneva, who played Lidochka in the film, came to the opening of the monument; admirers of his work come to see the heroes of the comedy of Gaidai, but for the students it became a symbol of the successful passing of the session.

Address: st. Artyukhina, 6, 1

163. Monument to Gleb Zheglov and Vladimir Sharapov in Moscow

A monument to the heroes of the Soviet film %ldquo;The meeting place cannot be changed%rdquo; Gleb Zheglov and Vladimir Sharapov were installed near the entrance to the main building of the Moscow police on Petrovka, 38.

The monument in the form of a sculpture composition of two figures and a height of more than 2 meters is made in bronze. Figures of Zheglov and Sharapov are facing each other on the steps of the main building of the Moscow police. The opening ceremony of the monument was attended by the creator of the sculpture, Alexander Rukavishnikov, the leadership of the State Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow, as well as police veterans.

%%%%These heroes are a symbol of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department. They are endowed with qualities such as courage, patriotism, dedication to duty, integrity and honesty,%%%% said retired police chief Vasily Kuptsov at the ceremony. According to him, Zheglov and Sharapov charged not only the entire Soviet militia, but also ordinary citizens with cheerfulness and patriotism.

164. Monument to Friedrich Engels in Moscow

A large bronze figure is set on a relatively low granite pedestal on which it is written: %%%%Friedrich Engels%%%%.

Why a monument is installed exactly on the Ostozhenka and Prechistenka arrow is not entirely clear. Nothing connected with the one or the other street of the German philosopher.

In the nineties of the last century, it was planned to dismantle it, following the monuments of other leaders of the proletariat, but the mayor of the city, Yuri Luzhkov, decided to leave the sculpture in place.

Address: st. Prechistenka, 4c2

172. Memorial sign in honor of 400 years of the liberation of Moscow

A memorial sign in honor of the 400th anniversary of the liberation of Moscow from the Polish invaders in 1612 by the second national militia under the leadership of Prince D.M. Pozharsky and Zemsky headman K. Minin.

It was here, at Rostokinsky Hill, at the intersection of the Yauza River and the Trinity Road (today Mira Avenue), the track camp of the Minin and Pozharsky people%#39;s militia was stationed in 1612. From here the army moved to the storming of the China-city, as a result of which Moscow was liberated from the invaders.

173. Monument %%%%Tree of Love%%%% in Moscow

The idea of ​​creating a monument, symbolizing eternal love, a famous sculptor and painter Grigory Pototsky had many years bearing. Thus, the sculpture %ldquo;The Tree of Love%rdquo; appeared in the Moscow Park %ldquo;Trubetskoy%#39;s Estate in Khamovniki%rdquo;. The three-meter stone composition resembles a tree and depicts a young man and a girl who are merged together, who, as if with flexible branches, firmly intertwined with each other with their hands, bodies, and souls.

In a dense crown, among the branches of an unusual tree, bright images of angels protecting gentle feelings, birds giving wings to lovers, hands creating strong relations are guessed.

Despite the size and massiveness, the sculpture looks very light and airy. This is where the deep philosophical meaning of the author%rsquo;s idea lies. He represents love as something great and omnipotent, but at the same time very gentle, fragile and vulnerable. The work of the artist calls to think about the bright and beautiful feeling that is not easy to find and so easy to lose. It is not by chance that the sculptor united a tree - a symbol of eternal life on earth, with a reverent image of two loving hearts, emphasizing the eternal value of human relationships.

Sculpture as if directed forward, to the bright dream, to a happy future. It charges with positive emotions and gives hope that each of us will meet his soul mate.

174. The sculptural ensemble %%%%Signs of the Zodiac%%%% in Moscow

The Moscow sculptor Andrei Aseryants became the author of this unusual ensemble. He decided to move away from generally accepted standards and use improvised material for sculptures, which he sought out in the neighboring garbage dumps: rusty pipes and broken iron pieces, an ejected compressor from the refrigerator, broken parts of various mechanisms, suspension from the old BMW. It should be noted that the sculptor already has experience in creating sculptures from a similar material: The signs of the zodiac were preceded by monuments to the Janitor and Lomonosov.

It is not surprising that, passing in the morning in the traditional gloomy mood through the square residents of the surrounding houses begin to smile at the sight of Zodiac Signs from scrap metal. A horns-packed Capricorn superbiker stands near a heaped motorcycle. A Sagittarius in the form of a bully-boy, not hesitating to passers-by, aims at the nearest lantern. Aries proudly sits on the drum, and the Virgin is depicted as a gentle schoolgirl holding a balloon in her hand. And what can we say about Aquarius!

And each Sign must have a flashlight: at Capricorn - in a motorcycle headlamp, at a maiden - in a balloon, at Scorpio - on the tail. Alas, over the years the composition of the lanterns or broke, or simply stolen.

175. Eiffel Tower in Moscow

The Eiffel Tower in Moscow is located not far from the Aviamotornaya metro station in the territory of one of the manufacturing enterprises - the Moskabelmet plant. An exact copy of the world architectural celebrity was built by the workers of this plant themselves. If we compare this Eiffel Tower, say, with a five-story house, then it will be approximately the same height. For reference, the height of the original Paris Eiffel Tower is 324 meters.

However, all those who want to touch a piece of Paris can face with for not a pleasant surprise. The fact is that a designer miracle created from metal structures is located on the territory of a regime enterprise, and therefore it is not so easy to see and even touch it with your own hands. To get on the territory of the Moskabelmet plant, you must have an appropriate pass with you. Such passes are handled by the company%rsquo;s administration, and, as a rule, passes are issued only to its employees.

However, there are still ways to fulfill your dream. How to do this without violating the law, you can consult with the administration of the enterprise itself or look for relevant information on thematic forums specializing in Moscow sights.

Despite all the austerity, the administration and security service of the Moskabelmet plant sometimes still goes forward. There are not rare cases when the lucky ones still get their way and arrange a photo shoot near the Moscow Eiffel Tower.

176. Monument to Janka Kupala in Moscow

In the biography of the Belarusian writer and poet Yanka Kupala, a short period is associated with Moscow, during which he studied at the people%#39;s university of the gold miner and philanthropist Adolf Shanyavsky. In Moscow, Kupala spent about a year, and then was called up for military service.

A monument in the Russian capital was installed in the summer of 2007 on Kutuzovsky Prospect in the Dorogomilovo district. The installation of the monument was timed to the 125th anniversary of the poet. The initiative to install the monument came from the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, and was supported by Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov. Casting bronze sculpture was made in Belarus. Moscow Square, in which it was planned to erect a monument, was landscaped: a small mound hill was made for the monument, the paths were tiled, and a fountain was also installed near the monument. Around the hill boulders of granite were laid.

The height of the monument along with a stone pedestal was seven meters. The poet was depicted standing near a low hedge, on which an open book lay, and next to the hedge sculptors placed a large sheet of fern, apparently appealing to the pseudonym of the poet (the real name of Yanka Kupala is Ivan Lutsevich). The poet%#39;s face is thoughtful, arms crossed over his chest.

In addition to poems and prose, Yanka Kupala wrote dramatic and journalistic works, translated books of Russian writers into the Belarusian language. His work was marked by the highest state awards of the USSR - the Stalin Prize and the Order of Lenin.

The sculpture is a figure of a lion, on which an angel sits with his hands up.

The author A.B. Lyagin himself speaks about the meaning of the sculpture: %ldquo;It is always inexplicable,%rdquo; he says, %ldquo;something seemed to dream, something was remembered, something was thought, a vision had arisen ... The idea comes almost from nowhere. So %%%%News%%%% appeared. Angel is sitting on a lion. The lion is the king of beasts, the symbol of the flesh. The angel is a symbol of spirituality. A composition appeared in which I, as an author, decided for myself the questions of being and the world order. %rdquo;

Gigantic figures of men and women are installed in the pedestrian zone between the buildings of the business center %%%%White Square%%%%. According to the idea of ​​the author of the project, sculptor George Frangulian, this composition with its shape and size will help pedestrians feel comfortable among high-rise buildings and become a transitional scale between people and the surrounding buildings.

This is the first attempt to install a sculpture composition in the city, which is not an illustration of a specific event and is not dedicated to a specific person. These are people in the city.

Monument to A.N. Radishchev, a Russian writer and poet, a famous philosopher, director of the Petersburg Customs, a member of the Commission on drafting laws, was installed on Verkhnyaya Radishchevskaya Street.

This bust, the author of which is sculptor V.I. Usov, appeared in this part of the capital in 1995. The place was not chosen by chance - it was along this street that Alexander Nikolaevich was driving in 1797, when he was returning home after long years of Siberian exile.

Bronze bust of A.N. Radishchev is set on a high, column-like, cylindrical pedestal, which is decorated with a cartouche. If we compare the monument with the portraits of Alexander Nikolayevich that have come down to our days, then it is noticeable that the master executed very accurately the image of Radishchev.

187. Monument to the Tree of Life in Moscow

The Tree of Life Monument was opened in Moscow on October 11, 2004. The author of the monument is the famous sculptor Ernst Unknown. This monument has a very long history and difficult fate. For 50 years, the authorities did not give permission for its installation.

For the first time, the model of the monument was presented by Ernst Unknown at an exhibition in Moscow on November 26, 1962. At first, negotiations were held on the installation of a monument on Arbat, opposite the city hall building. It was planned that the Tree of Life would be a building 150 meters high, and it would house the interior. However, the sculptor was denied, arguing that the monument looks like a nuclear explosion, although its outlines exactly repeat the shape of the human heart. As a result, the foundation of the Tree of Life monument was established, which for several years fought for the right to establish it.

The sculptor himself explained that the idea of a monument is to unite in a single composition all the existing religions of the world, even little-known ones. The branches of the tree look like Mobius ribbons, and personify the mathematical and architectural essence of life.

After lengthy negotiations, the monument was allowed to be established, although the height of the monument in the end is only seven meters, and you can see the Tree of Life on the Bagration Bridge.

The plot begins with the death of the Kyrgyz Khan Nogoy, after which the Chinese, taking advantage of the weakness of his successors, seize the Kyrgyz lands and drive them out of the Talas Alatau (Ala-Too). The younger son of Noah, Jacquel, falls on Altai, where he lives among Kalmyks and, being a hard-working man, earns a fortune. At first, fate refuses to send him a son, and in the hope of a miracle, he prays to the Almighty and travels to holy places; diligence was rewarded, and a son was born, named Manas - an extraordinary strength and mind of a child, the fame of which spread far beyond the borders of Altai. Performing military exploits, Manas unites many Kalmyk and Kyrgyz tribes and Manchu tribes and becomes Khan. Subsequently, having collected an army, he liberates the lands of his people from invaders.

The opening date of the monument also became the XXI century - in fact it was in 2009 that the 50th anniversary of the movement called %%%%Student Construction Squad%%%% was celebrated. And MSU, of course, was the first to enter this list: after all, the first such detachment was created in 1959 here, at the Faculty of Physics. Therefore, the monument was placed on the site, not far from the academic building.

A. Rukavishnikov worked on the monument. He depicted the students standing in a circle, while they are shown back to each other. They hold hands. Of course, the students almost immediately came up with a nickname to the monument - %ldquo;a monument to green men%rdquo; because of the bronze that gives this color. A curious fact - until recently, there was not a single monument on the territory of Moscow State University to the most frequently encountered person here - a student. Ivan Shuvalov, Mikhail Lomonosov, Walt Whitman - there are monuments to these famous personalities on the territory of Moscow State University, but there was no simple monument to a student. At the grand opening of the monument, the banner was held by that same student detachment, which in the summer of 2009 traveled to the homeland of M. V. Lomonosov. At the opening ceremony, the wish was also expressed that there would be more and more student groups in Russia.
